Which is the true Internet Generation?

Is it:
a) the people who grew up with no knowledge of life Before Internet and who presume, in their youthful arrogance, that the internet belongs to them and no one over the age of 35 is aware of the existence of the internet, never mind knows how to access it? or
b) the people who created the net and the people for whom it was created, who have spent 40-odd years watching it grow and develop?
Bearing in mind that category a) people need of safe zones to avoid being confronted with views which contradict their cherished preconceptions and they visit only the parts of the internet which support those preconceptions, it could be argued that they are much too wimpy to lay claim to anything as complex as the internet and never likely to invent anything themselves.
