b) The youngest digital immigrant you know.
This is a tricky question for me to answer, as most of my friends are very much into technology with around 80% being on the games design course at Lincoln University. I only have one example of a digital immigrant and they are around 54-55 years old. Although this is not a particularly young example, they are the person I (and my oldest digital native subject) help with technology. The things that make this most obvious are not their compliance with computers but their comfortability with them. It is the little things that give them away. For instance, they text with one finger (whereas most digital natives will hold a phone between both hands and text with two thumbs) and they read every button thoroughly before clicking it on the PC (most digital natives recognise button functions by their mere colour/image/shape/words.)
This is not a brilliant example but it proves that in my life I have seen the people around me grasping technology as fast as I have myself.
