ABSTRACT
Among the many important changes occurring across the world is the movement to make all electronic products digitally based. This digital revolution means that most forms of technology will soon have the same basic architecture, allowing communication across computers, cameras, telephones, and so forth. In 2010, virtually everyone in the US over the age of 30 or so became an immigrant in their own country—digital immigrants. In this definition, being an immigrant means being new to the digital culture, not knowing of or understanding the nuances on which a culture is built. In essence, this large group of Americans is really bicultural. Where there are cultural immigrants, there must be cultural natives. Being a digital native suggests that one has grown up immersed in a culture so that its nuances are accessible to the person, not foreign or unintelligible, make sense, and can be inferred.
