WHAT DOES DIGITAL IMMIGRANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

digital immigrant

Digital native

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 comfort level using it. Alternatively, this term can describe people born during or after the 2000s, as the Digital Age began at that time; but in most cases, the term focuses on people who grew up with the technology that became prevalent in the latter part of the 20th century and continues to evolve today. Other discourse identifies a digital native as a person who understands the value of digital technology and uses this to seek out opportunities for implementing it. This term has been used in several different contexts, such as education, higher education and in association with the term New Millennium Learners. The opposite of digital native is digital immigrant, an individual who was born before the existence of digital technology and adopted it to some extent later in life.
