The document discusses how the author feels digitally divided between being a digital native and digital immigrant. While technology has advanced greatly in their lifetime, the author has experience with both manual and automated processes. They feel pulled between pursuing psychotherapy and music production, with technology advancing music production more. However, the author believes both can provide healing, and technology may allow their two careers to synergize in the future by carrying the message through music.

2. Digitally Divided
My digital identity falls somewhere between Marc
Prensky’s Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. While I
believe over my 48 years there has been great change
and progress in technology and the way we learn and
perceive learning, the digital divided best explains my
experience. This is solely because in my lifetime, I am a
product of both manual and automation. These words
were played against one another in my generation,
identifying the old and the new. My experience has been
that I vacillate between the both and feeling, like I’m in
the middle between the two styles that accomplish the
same task in two different methods.

3. Digitally Divided
• Again, I believe I'm digitally divided between
manual and automation. I have a rich
heritage of helping people heal from the
number of pastor's in my family. For me this
translated into music production and
psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, I gladly release
for the more technological, music production;
as I prepare again for ministry.​

4. Digitally Divided
• Still, this circuitous journey has led me in my
life between to two loves: healing through
catharsis in conversation and healing through
the production of music. I’ve been pulled back
and forth and now I’m still the middle. I’m
progressing toward music production because
the technology in this field has far exceeded
that of psychotherapy.

5. Digitally Divided
• I am digitally divided because of my position
between the age-old art of conversation and
the technological art of processed sound. One
thing is for certain the listener would rather
hear music rather than conversation because
learning is instinctive even though the healing
effects are possible in both instants. The
language is fresh and relevant. The footprints
from music can be replayed more frequently
in our thought process

6. Digitally Divided
• Soon there will be a synergism that will link
the two careers solely in technology because
the message is in the music.
