DIGITAL IMMIGRANTS

phone
• Don’t text or only sparingly
• Synchronous communication

slowly: linear, logical, sequential
• Prefer reading text (i.e. books)
on processing pictures, sounds
and video
DIGITAL NATIVES
• Prefer to talk via chat, text or
messaging thru social media
• Text more than call
• Asynchronous communication
• Prefer receiving information
quickly & simultaneously from
multiple multimedia & other
sources
• Prefer processing/interacting
with pictures, graphics, sounds
& video before text
