Digital natives include anyone who was born after 1980 and never knew a life without technology and the internet. Other people, who have adapted, are typically digital settlers. They are older, have learned the digital technology, but continue to rely on older, analog methods. Digital immigrants are people who have learned how to email and use social networks late in their life.
Digital natives are growing up in a world where digital technology has changed their lives. It has effected their identity development, privacy expectations, safety considerations, knowledge creation, equality issues, learning strategies, and social activism.
