Also, after reading my friends blog, it has really open up to me on how I could have approached this topic in a different point of view. Continue reading →

Reading my fellow classmates’ blogs got me ponder deeper. I realized that each of us have got different perceptions on the take on who is considered a “Visitor” and “Resident” in this digital world.

It was a thought-provoking process to read my classmates’ posts.

After reading through my colleagues’ blog posts, questions start popping up in my mind, stringing thoughts that were previously off my mind. As I understand deeper and further from the post on Emilia’s wordpress, I began thinking about various factors like “How distinct are ‘residents’ from ‘visitors’ despite the similarities in the usage of the internet?”, “To what extent could they be similar?”.

It is interesting to know Joey‘s and Crystal‘s views on Digital Resident and Digital Visitor. There is no definite black and white sides to being a Resident or a Visitor and Crystal has confirmed my thoughts by sharing information on the Visitors and Residents Continuum. An individual can be a Visitor and a Resident at the same time because the relationship between the two is more progressive than contrasting. Continue reading →

I have never thought that there will be a categorization for different users with their different motive. After much research on the topic as well as reading my peer’s blog post on their view, has really broaden my horizon about how users perceive themselves on the internet.
