“Revolt of Digital Natives”
Digital Natives are cultured at birth to learn and experience in a virtual reality interface when immerged in an environment that thrives off technology advancements. When the population of these Natives becomes prevalent and information disseminators capitalize on the Natives’ preferred technology communication method, the new data becomes viral. This was evident in the Seoul, Korea elections where there “was a showdown between “Digital Natives,” namely young people comfortable in using new media technology, including Twitter and Facebook, and Digital “Immigrants,” namely those in the 50s and 60s who are struggling in using them”. (The Korea Times, 2011) This article is proof of the divergence in not only the types of learners that are now in classroom settings yet the methods of information that the Digital Natives hold power to. I am sure future elections will pose an increase of technology used for media consumption.
