Born Digital

Describe what a "Digital Immigrant", "Digital Settler" and "Digital Native". What category do you fall under? Why? Then name two people that fall under the other two categories and explain why.


A digital native is someone who knows nothing but digital they was born into the digital world. A digital immigrant is someone who was there at the start of the digital golden age. A digital settler is someone who durning there time the digital age was not though of but since it was invented they have adapted to the digtal ways. The category i fall under is a digital native because since the time I was born technology was all thats has been used and also since i been born it has been advancing. My mom is a digital immigrant because as she was going up technology started to develope but it wasnt as popular as it is today. My great grandma is a digtal settler because she has learned to settle and get use too the technology ways.
What is the main goal of this book? Who is its intended audience? How does this knowledge change your approach to reading the book?


The main goal of this book is to show digtal immigrant and settler the ways that digtal native seen technology. Its a way to let digtal immigrant and settlers a way in are world. This knowledge change my way of reading this book because i need to put myself in someone who is not a digital native shoes.

How has the creation of an identify changed in the digital age? (As opposed to the agrarian or industrial age)


The creation of an identify change in the digital age because now u can see see things in many different ways. Things are not viewed in one way anymore you can actully see and has your own emotions towards whatever you are viewing at the moment. 


What role does Facebook or other social networking sites play in the creation of a "Digital Native" forming an identity (of multiple identities). Based on personal experience do you think the writers of the book are accurate?


Social Networks is a way to share you identity to the world but also you can become someone who you are not and no one will ever no. You can get your identity stole and someone can pretent as you and you will never know because things on social networks are always as they seem.
