What causes digital immigrants to feel they are subservient or less than digital natives in a society?
If I was a "immigrant" to digital culture I would feel subservient. the world is filled with so much technology now, and only advancing while I'm stuck in the past. Everyone has a cell phone, there's GPS and tracking, the internet is expanding, but you still don't know how to send a text message. Jobs are using a lot of technology, you would have a less of a chance getting it if you didn't know how to use a computer and certain applications. Technology is also a great way to communicate, if you wanted to video chat with someone half way across the world, you can (with certain application/devices). Technology is a great thing, it has its flaws and expences, but overall all people should know how to do something as simple as sending a e-mail. instead of feeling subservient, immbrace the tech and learn.
