Digital Immigration is a term that was founded by Marc Prensky. He believed that there are two contrasting views- he believes that people are either digital immigrants or digitally native. These are both different and he believes that they describe 2 varied types of people.
Digital Immigrants are people who are not used to having technology at their fingertips and are content with using older methods of teaching and other aspects of life. For example, they are not used to using the internet and technologies such as iPods and Iphones.
The contrasting group- Digital Natives are people who are fully aware in the rapid changes of technology and who have been bought up understanding how to use these technologies. These people are generally students who are expected to know how to use technologies such as the internet.
