Back Digital Immigrants

Letter: D

Synonym:

A digital immigrant is a person born before the widespread adoption of computers and has had to adopt digital technology later in life. Digital immigrants are considered to be less technically able than digital natives and it is argued that they can never develop the same level of technology skills and knowledge as digital native. Digital immigrants are not naturally familiar or instinctively comfortable and therefore must adapt to using digital technology, interfaces, and software and became familiar with computers as a young adult or later in life.
