Summary of Topic 1 #UOSM2008

As a summary, I'd like to propose the question:"Are White and Cornu's definitions of digital residents and visitors viable still today?"In my opinion, I'd like to stress that in today's digiworld there are all kinds of people, at all kinds of ages and cultures, who have learnt the power of the internet and actively engage in communication and promotion, amongst other objectives, to fulfil their ambitions.

Users often fit into both categories due to using the services at different levels of complexity. Continue reading →
