Description

It has been seven years since Marc Prensky launched the concept of digital natives (the post-www generations) and digital immigrants (everyone else!) on the world. His definitions and terms have come in for scrutiny and debate since then, but they are an undeniably powerful metaphor for the change which all too evidently surrounds us. The most important point in his argument is that we are not witnessing a simple ratcheting up of incremental change but have reached a point of discontinuity marked by fundamental change. Digital natives are, quite simply, different people.
