Blog c) A person known to you (could be you, but you don't need to admit it!) who most threatens the notion of native/immigrant in digital culture.

Yes I have to admit that I do personally threaten the notion of native/immigrant in this digital culture. I am classed initially as a digital native as I go about my day with my internet constantly on. I check facebook several times a day and also browse celebrity gossip sites daily. I upload pictures and send emails more often than not. I text continuously, especially at university. For example, i get 500 free texts a month and can easily go over that. I watch a good couple of hours of TV a night and I always set my phone to wake me up on a morning. These are all common features of any person my age and at university and it is us who is generally seen as the digital native that digital immigrants constantly talk about. But I think I buck the trend as I can also be completely technologically illiterate.

It took me until last year to get my first ipod and evn then i got one of the smallest ones you could get and i think iv only got about 1000 songs on there, which i know for a fact compared to may other friends is nothing. Even when I first got my ipod I had to ask my little sister (3 years younger than me) to help set it up for me and teach me how to download songs. She had previously had an ipod for 2 years. Not only this, but even just the other day I needed to do something on Mircosoft Excel. I did IT GCSE but since then I dont think I have ever had to use Microsoft Excel. Therefore when I needed to the other day I had no clue where to even start. I had to ask my friend to do it for me, even when she showed me I was still unsure. So in this day and age is it weird for me to be like this yet still be the age I am? of do the factors in the first paragraph mean I couldnt possibly be a digital immigrant?
