The youngest person I know who has the characteristics of a digital immigrant is my friend who is 21. She just doesn’t seem to have the technological grasp as other people her age do. Even though she fits into the age group of a digital native, she fits into the description of a digital immigrant, which shows problems with Prensky’s definition.
Her skills with technology are limited; she has problems with the internet and is slow at basic skills such as texting. This could be because of the age of her parents, who were a lot older when they had her, therefore her parents didn’t have much technology around their house. She has only just got the internet fitted in her house recently so she is only just picking up on skills which I feel I have had through most of my life.
