I am not in favour of the idea of digital native and digital immigrants because it depends on context and engagement and productivity of using technology by anyone regardless of age. I saw both the videos and liked the idea of David White, who rephrased the idea as digital residents and visitors. Everyone engage with technology in different ways. In each context, one can become digital resident or visitor. In fact, we all are digital resident as well as visitors in the different continuum.
I have created a Visitors and Residents map for me in bit different way. I haven’t blurred the boundary, rather tried to list technologies with borders. It was not much difficult for me to design my technology map except for email account, as I really use each technology in different context.
