Week 8....Website criticism 5

This last website was in April 27, 2007 so therefore relevant and quite up to date.
The author discusses digital immigrants and digital natives...
"I think “immigrants” only need to understand the differences between these “cultures”, plan accordingly and deal with the differences in a way that is meaningful to both parties."
It is basically saying that we just need to understand one anothers background usage and skill with technology and not necessarily change the ways of our laerning but to combine them both to get an equal version of learning, as some individuals learn differently and to class each person as either a digital immigrant or native would be a preconcpetion which can leave some people stumpted.
It also covers if we were to change over to just a digital age would it stop people learning the real factors of life and that being digitalised does help with near enough every sector of life, but isnt the be all and end all. As his author suggests it still is a industrial world in certain aspects of the world, work etc.
