Editor's note: LeWeb is Europe's biggest tech conference, and will take place in Paris from December 4 to 6. CNN will be reporting live from the ground over the three day event and bringing you the news as it happens from the biggest names in tech. Follow our reporters Stephanie Busari and Irene Chapple on Twitter. (CNN) -- The war between natives and immigrants is ending. The natives have won. It was a bloodless conflict fought not with bullets and spears, but with iPhones and floppy disks. Now the battle between the haves and have-nots can begin. The post-millennial "digital native," a term coined by U.S. author Marc Prensky in 2001 is emerging as the globe's dominant demographic, while the "digital immigrant," becomes a relic of a previous time. The digital native-immigrant concept describes the generational switchover where people are defined by the technological culture which they're familiar with.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
