A person known to you, who most threatens the notion of native/immigrant in digital culture.

Ok i think its fair to say that my friend Sarah, previously mentioned, fits into this notion of threatening native/immigrant in digital culture.
Sarah's age, 19, suggests that she should be a digital native as like myself she as grown up surrounded by new digital technologies. She has also been very privledged to have been giving the opportunity to experience all these new technologies. From internet, mobile phones, playstations,digital cameras, nintendo DS's, the first MP3 players, the first Ipods to the latest developed Ipods and recently recieved the Wii and Wii Fit.

It sounds like she should be very digitally advanced but she just not. She has basic skills of the internet and uses the social networking page, bebo (only as a worry she'll be left out). Whilst encouraging her to visit me in Lincoln, I have had to go online to book flights has she seems stuck to what to do.
Digital cameras great for taking photos, but uploading on to the computer??? And whilst she loves music, Itunes isn't in her vocabulary. Therefore her Ipod is only updated when i visit home.

The point of this is to understand that just because she has grown up in an age dominated by new media doesnt mean she is naturally a digital native. Something that is assumed by theorist Prensky has he bases his definitions on age groups and generations in society.
