Great post Shannon, I had not heard of the terms ‘digital native’ and ‘digital immigrant’ before. It’s amazing to watch how quickly and instinctively children grasp technology, but they do still have to be taught how to use it and also important to teach them to have critical filters when consuming technology. Speaking of the QWERTY keyboard and also mouse skills I have noticed elderly people seem to enjoy using ipads and tablets more than desk-tops and laptops. would be interesting to see what devices are produced with the older demographic in mind. Entertainment in nursing homes a few decades down the track could be very interesting once digital immigrants start living there!
