“One of the things many people say to me is that older people don’t ‘get’ new technologies where kids just do. This viewpoint was further supported by Prensky’s use of the expressions ‘digital native’ and ‘digital immigrant’ in a seminal article in 2001. Even Prensky has now acknowledged that the issues around digital literacy go beyond age, and he now uses the phrase ‘digital wisdom‘.”

Read Bryony Taylor’s full article here.  I have also been following Dave White’s developing theories over time, and a new journal article is shortly promised. I much prefer digital residents/visitors, and have mentioned the phrase in several of my conference talks.
