This website it quite similar to many I have looked at. It effectivley divides the two terms "digital native" and "digital immigrant" with examples and meanings. The way the webpage is structured is really easy to read and it helps grasp an understanding of what the terms mean. The page talks about "digital natives" havent adapted their life to technology, they havent adapted to using internet, email and social networking sites, its just a natural occurance to them, they were born into a world of digital technology so have grown up with it surrounding them.
The website also talks about "digital immigrants" as being people who are older, and may know how to use the internet and computers, but not be so up-to-date and know the lingo that younger people do.

The article was written in 2008 so it is fairly new, and people have since posted comments with their responses. The responses are what interested me the most, at two twenty year olds have said that they dont neccessarily feel they are digital natives, they feel "in between" the digital divide. This caught my attention as they are suggesting that age doesnt always come in to it, which opposes what Prensky focused on in his theory.
