Digital- native and digital immigrant

Today in modern society, new generations are born in the advancing technologies and this makes them digital- native. Older generations, that are older than a young adult, are consider to be digital-immigrant.

A digital- native person that uses technology more frequently and has been using technology for quiet a long time. This makes the person continue to use technology for the rest of their life. Not for the rest for their life but for a long time. Since they had the technology already, they already know how to utilize what they have correctly. For example, a toddler in today's society is more limey to use technology. As they continue to grow and get older, the kid will be able to enhance their learning on how to use the technology that is advancing. This makes this person to be a digital native. For a digital immigrant it is different because they have not been using technology as much as a a digital native. A digital immigrant does not know how to utilize the technology due to lack of experience. This makes them a novice. Furthermore, a digital native has more benefits than a digital immigrant because society today is run by technology. There are more job opportunities due to the advancement in technology.
