Introduction
Typically, over the past few years there has been technological
revolution across the globe thus technology has become part and
parcel of our global society. To this effect, children who were
born after 1980 are largely called the generation of digital
native and immigrants. This digital native generation is
characterized with the use of social media platforms such as
Tweeter, Facebook, and Instagram among others for
communication. With the increasing digitalization of all sectors
of the economy, information are nowadays stored in electronic
media rather than print media such books because as compared
to information in print media, information in electronic media
serves billions of people who are always online all throughout
the day. To this effect, the internet and the computers as well as
new technologies that are introduced across the globe on daily
basis are increasingly changing the way we think, the way we
act, the way we communicate as well s how we interact with
other people thus, and we can say that the new technology will
stay with us forever.
Conclusion
It is indeed evident that, the revolution of technology is
increasing year-in-year out and it is a prudent idea for us to say
that technology has come to stay with as for the rest of our
lives. Studies shows that, the digital immigrant generation
cannot be separated with technology and people who are miles
away can easily communicate and conduct businesses with one
another within minutes. In order to meet the needs of the digital
immigrant generation, teachers and other stakeholders in the
education system should incorporate the new technology in the
5. classroom setting and without any doubt the environmental
needs of digital natives in our 21st century will be satisfied.

�What new technology?
�This is all your thesis? If so, it needs to be much clearer, and
some of it does not seem like a thesis. Further, some of it goes
to far. To say that teaching has totally changed would mean no
books are used, students don’t talk to teachers, teachers don’t
help students, etc.
