After reading and reviewing blogs written by my classmates, I realised that majority of them, including myself, are neither “Visitors” nor “Residents”, but “In-betweens”. There are also a handful who are Digital Residents and a small number that claimed to be Digital Visitors.

It has been such an interesting and engaging process blogging, viewing and commenting on my fellow friend’s blog posts. As i read through my classmate’s blog posts, I have gained very interesting perspectives on this topic and has definitely broaden my thinking.

Before I even started researching and reading about Digital Visitors, Digital Residents, Digital Natives, and Digital Immigrants, I had no idea such concepts and terms exists! As I read posts from others, it got me thinking deeper and more questions arises… Constance made an insightful view — I agree, it is a common mistake made by readers to stereotype such technology users terms based on generations.

A witty friend of mine lamented that no individual can escape from the claws of digital technology – data is recorded onto the digital space once you are born! There he went and he felt that the new technological era of technology has invaded everyone’s privacy. Indeed, everyone does have a choice in deciding to be either a Digital Resident or Visitor.
