Website 2



This article was too written in 2001 and questions the science behind Digital immigrants and natives. Because it was written in 2001 the experiments which were conducted then may not be the same if they were completed now. It is more than likely that there have been more experiments since which provide more thorough answers.

However there are two ideas which appear to be usable and upto date, the first is the idea of social theory which is discussed in relation to culture.

This applicable today as it talks about cause anf affect in depth which is understandble and believable now.

The second idea is the notion of brain training and how the repetition of various activities can mean an individuals brain can be trained to do something it never could before, the article then makes reference to video games which are still as popular now as they were then.
