Digital Natives: People born during the digital era. Technically, these are the people who are exposed to digital interfaces and use devices for more than one purpose. From education to networking. Here people are exposed to digital revolution to a wider use and are in most cases upgraded with new technologies. The use of technology is more, learning is faster, more dependency and more faith in info available on the internet.
Digital Immigrants: A generation before the digital era. People in this case are less exposed to technologies. They have practiced everything practically by using other traditional methods. Lesser awareness, lack of usage more dependant on other sources of info such as books.
There is a great deal of cultural differences one could encounter due to lack of knowledge in the digital era. Firstly the cultural differences. Since the natives are exposed to greater amount of info, there is a lot more perspective attached which has its own pros and cons.
Immigrants on the other hand do not appreciate the easy approach towards everything creating a gap. Further some can be a sport and might show interest in learning.
