W9. Task c. Person who most threatens the notion of native/immigrant in digital culture

c) A person known to you (could be you, but you don't need to admit it!) who most threatens the notion of native/immigrant in digital culture.

The person I know who most threatens the notion of native/immigrant in digital culture is Mark, as mentioned in a previous post.

I believe this is because technology is so ingrained into his day to day routine, that he would be unable to go about his daily life without it and to remove facebook or his mobile phone from him would leave him completely lost.

I believe him to be a digital native in that the way he uses technology means that he would be unable to return to when he did not use it, both on a professional and a personal level. I don’t see him as having an “accent” as Prensky puts it, in that his use of technology resembles that of someone who has been exposed to it for all of their lives, as opposed to Mark who has only been exposed to it as it began to affect his life, which could not have throughout the duration of his life.
