Website 2- week 8

This webiste is similar to the previous and discusses the main differences between digital native and digital immigrants. It is again fairly up to date. The way is it set out differs from that of the previous. It focusses on Prensky's main arguement and argues against it saying that as a 30 year old man- he fnds adapting the the changes in technology simple and argues that just because he is older, doesnt mean he cannot understand how to use certain technology mediums.
However, he does later agree that when he got a new job in the US he saw first hand that the gap of which Prensky discusses was apparent.

I think that unless you can see it forst hand- you will believe that there is no gap. People of an older generation are often in denial about how much they know about technology. What does everyone else think?
