In the document the author shows the difference between digital natives and
digital immigrants, Digital Natives: A digital native is a person who was born during or
after the general introduction of digital technologies and through interacting with digital
technology from an early age, has a greater understanding of its concepts. Alternatively,
this term can describe people born during or after 1960s. The term suggests a familiarity
with technology that not all children and young adults who would be considered digital
natives have, though some instead have awkwardness with technology that not all digital
immigrants have. This is depending on the location of the school and whether or not the
students have access to these endless technologies. Digital Immigrants: A digital
immigrant is an individual who was born before the existence of digital technology and
adopted it to some extent later in life. (Prensky, 2001)
