Digital Immigrants, Digital Natives: Myth or Reality?

The introduction was first recorded in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) survey report (Servon, 2002) in 1995 and the term "digital divide" produced an interesting dilemma for the difference in information and communication technology (ICT) around the world . In particular, many reports between developed and developing countries even show that access to ICT in these "same" and "no" countries is unequal (Bridges.org, 2001; Fuchs & Horak , 2008; Norris). , 2001; Van Dijk, 2009).

Marc Prensky invented and advertised the terms Digital Native and Digital Immigration. According to Marc Prensky, Digital Native is a person born in the digital age. Digital immigration refers to individuals who use technology in the latter half. These terms help to understand the problem of digital literacy education, but digital culture can not be a person simply by digital local. Digital immigrants have accents that limit how to communicate with local people while adapting to the same technology as local people. Indeed, research shows that due to brain plasticity, technology has changed the way students read, perceive and process information today. This means that today's educators may find it hard to find effective digital native teaching methods. Since digital immigrants do not teach themselves, they may refuse to teach digital literacy

Because of its interaction with technology, Digital Native "handles information by thinking differently" to digital immigrants (Prensky). According to Prensky, digital native personnel can process information quickly and enjoy multitasking and games. On the other hand, digital immigrants can process information slowly and process one thing at a time. Prensky considers this gap to be the biggest problem facing today's education and teachers must change the way they teach in order to attract students. Children raised with computers have different looks to train them to develop hypertext ideas. In order to create better generation expectations, we need to change our education. Prensky claims that Digital Native accounts for the majority of the world's population and digital immigrants are decreasing
