In the most general terms, digital natives speak and breathe the language of computers and the culture of the web into which they were born, while digital immigrants will never deal with technology as naturally as those who grew up with it. Not all Digital Immigrants and Digital Natives are Created Equal.

It is important to realize that not all digital immigrants and not all digital natives are created equal. The native/immigrant divide is one of generations - people were either born in the digital era or they were not (Rosen, 2. Zur & Zur, 2. While most digital natives are tech- savvy by virtue of their being born around technology, others do not have a knack for technology and computers, or even an interest or inclination to learn more. Digital immigrants are also clearly a highly diverse group in terms of their attitudes and capacities in regard to digital technologies. Digital Immigrants fall into the following three major groups: Avoiders: We have all met avoiders among the digital immigrants.

They prefer a lifestyle that leaves them relatively technology- free or with minimal- technology. Change Windows License Key 737. They tend to have landlines, no cell phone and no email account. They do not Tweet or Facebook, and what is highly illustrative for this group is that they do not see much value in these activities.

Reluctant adopters realize technology is a part of today's world and they try to engage with it, but it feels alien and unintuitive. This group is widely diverse and probably includes most of the digital immigrant group. While they may have a basic cell phone, they do not text if they can help it. They may use Google occasionally, do not have a Facebook account, check their emails intermittently and perhaps have surrendered to online banking.

This group is defined more by its cautious and tentative attitude towards digital technology rather than by its willingness to use these technologies. Enthusiastic adopters are the digital immigrants who have the potential to keep up with natives, due to their ease, capacity, and interest in using technology. They may be high- tech executives, programmers, businesspeople and others who embrace technology and immerse themselves in the Internet culture. This group sees the value of technology and does their best to make use of it. Some members of this group - very few - are of the Bill Gates variety, and have a knack for these things despite their status as digital immigrants. Members of this group text, use Skype, have and use a Facebook account (recognizing that this is the best way to interact with their kids in a favored medium and connect with old friends), check email regularly, and are excited about new gadgets and tech developments.

They may also keep a blog, and they have a website if they are in business. A note to the wise: Immigrants who wish to switch from . We take classes to learn Spanish - so why not get a tutor to get up to speed on making good use of technology? Many digital natives are immersed in technology and see it as an easy, fluid integral part of life.

As a result, they may be impatient with immigrants who do not understand technology as easily. Asking a native to help can also be an opportunity for them to understand what is difficult for immigrants, and, thus, cross the digital divide themselves. Like digital immigrants, digital natives are also not created equal.

The natives are also a diverse group in terms of their attitudes and capacities regarding digital technologies. Digital Natives fall into the following three major groups: Avoiders: Some young people, even though they were born digital, do not feel an affinity for digital technologies and, unlike most of their peers, they are not enamored by Facebook, texting or mobile technologies. Members of this small group of digital natives use a cell phone (it's pretty much cripplingly impractical not to have one these days), but do not have an email, Facebook or Twitter account, and may not even have Internet access at home. They probably have an older phone and do not text.

Minimalists realize that technology is a part of today's world, and they try to engage with it minimally and only when they perceive it is necessary. They Google for information if they have to and purchase online only if they cannot do so in a local store. While they may have a Facebook account, they may check it only once a day or every couple of days. They will ask for directions to a friend's house instead of simply getting the address and looking it up on Google maps. If absolutely necessary, they will use Skype or a GPS system, but they are not eager to do so. Enthusiastic participants make up most of the digital natives. They enjoy and thrive on technology and gadgets.

They interact on Facebook all day long, many of them Tweet, all of them are online in some capacity (You. Tube, watching TV shows or movies online, Facebook, surfing, etc.) all day long or as much as possible. When they want to know something - such as a language translation, directions to a party, how to spell a word - the first thing they do is turn to Google. This group is harder to reach on the phone than via online methods and texting. They thrive on instant, fluid communication, and own a smartphone or i. Pad for constant access to the Web.

Younger members of this group prefer texting to emailing. Generally speaking, the younger generations are less and less prepared to write in a professional manner. This sets them up for digital divide clashes at home, school, the workplace and any other situation where digital immigrants set the tone. Enthusiastic participants include (but are not limited to) online gamers and those first in line to buy the new i.

Pad, i. Phone or i. All of them find technology fun, and enjoy the latest developments. As discussed in more detail below, in the workplace this manifests as follows: Bureaucracy, paperwork and formalities make little sense to this group. If it can be done more quickly and simply, why not do it that way? This group is accustomed to having instant access to their teachers, peers and parents on Facebook. Lines of propriety between people of different ages, social statuses and positions of power hardly exist in the minds of these natives.

The native/immigrant distinction is important, as it can help explain tension between parents and children, educators and students, and business management and younger workers. Often, in these situations the different styles, values, and habits of the different groups create misunderstandings, misperceptions, conflict, disharmony and communication breakdowns.

Our hope in compiling this paper is to shed light on the differences between the two groups so that both digital immigrants and digital natives understand themselves and the other group better. This understanding can increase effective communication and contribute to harmony at home, enhance satisfaction and productivity in the workplace and increase the quality of learning and mutual understanding in educational institutions.

Top of Page. Categories According to a Person's Relationship to Technology. It is important to note that there are other ways to sort people in these groups besides age. We can do so according to their attitudes towards and comprehension of modern digital technologies. Feeney (2. 01. 0), Toledo, (2. Following are categories that differentiate people according to their comprehension, understanding and comfort with technology rather than their age. Avoider The Luddites are true avoiders of modern technologies.

They use landlines and avoid email and the Internet. The newspapers they like to read arrive via snail mail carrier, not via Internet server.
