This document discusses digital natives and digital immigrants. Digital natives are people who grew up with digital technology and are familiar with computers and the internet from a young age. Digital immigrants are those who have slowly adapted to technologies like web surfing, emailing, and social media. While a generation gap may exist between natives and immigrants, as more immigrants immerse themselves in the digital world, this gap is closing and disappearing. The document also notes how information and communication technologies have improved lives in a short period of time by allowing people to locate, save, send, edit and communicate information in unified ways.
