'Digital Immigration'.

Digital immigration is sourced from the discontinuity between generations. Suggesting that those that are now representing the first generations growing up with this new technology, (digital natives) surrounded by virtual games and digital music players are ahead of digital immigrations and are a more advantaged generation.
The important distinction to make is digital immigrants have not been brought up with the internet and all these digital advancements and as a result are more illiterate. There are a distinguished group that learn these skills at a later stage in their lives. It is suggested that today’s “older folk were ‘socialised’ differently from their kids and are now in the process of learning a new language.” (http://www.marcprensky.com/writing/Prensky%20-%20Digital%20Natives,%20Digital%20Immigrants%20-%20Part1.pdf)

A lot of people care about digital Immigration, as at this moment and time it is this generation of digital immigrates that are teaching in education today. Therefore it could be suggested that these instructors are speaking an out-dated language and as a result struggle to keep up with this new generation of people, these are the thoughts of Marc Prensky.
One theorist, Timothy VanSlyke, even suggested that students are the digital native and the tutors are the digital immigrant, and this will not change no matter what.

It is important to note, that in today’s world communicate relies heavily upon this new digital age. Therefore perhaps this older generation of digital immigrants will not only be left behind but left out and miss out on vital needs of everyday life.
