Digital Immigrants Vs Digital Natives


Ok before we go into our problems we are going into the two different "ethnics" in our digital world which are the digital immigrants and digital natives here is a brief explanation of the two:

Digital Natives: A digital native in brief is just basically those who are born in the era of advance technology and digital. Teenagers and young adults today are classified as digital natives whereas our grandparents and parents are classified as digital immigrants which I will explain soon. This term is given to those not born in the 1960's where technology just starts to develop but around the end of the 20th century where technology has been further developed and continues to evolve.

Digital Immigrants: Now we take a look at the digital immigrants. It is basically just the opposite of digital natives if we are born in the age of technology digital immigrants are born before modern day technology has been fully developed. They are described as immigrants due to the fact that they enter the digital world and tries to adapt to it making them described as immigrants.
