Topic 3
From Digital Immigrants to Silver Surfers
Digital Immigrant:
According to Prensky (2001) it is everyone that had their first contact with technology as
an adult, he stated that learning how to use technology at the age of 30 is not the same as
to use it from 4 years old. He then compared it to adult language learning, were you can
reach proficiency but always with a slight pronunciation.
They can learn how to use new technology, but unconsciously, they tend to limit their
learning to the automation of daily tasks, ignoring other skills that could be beneficial to
them. Prensky even found a name for this characteristic: digital accent.
