Week 9 - Threatens the notion of Digital Culture

If I had to think of an individual who threatens this notion in digital culture, I’d have to say it would be a relative of mine back home who is in his early 30’s. Obviously being of this age, we would class him as a digital immigrant which is what I thought for many years as I have never seen him with a mobile or at a computer. Yet when he comes round to the house, he can use my computer and music library like he has been for years. This is the same the other week when I showed him my new phone and managed to have a look through my videos and music without me telling him how to do so. An impressive achievement seeing as myself (over 10 years younger) took a couple of days to learn the same things!
Although I’d like to refer this back to something I found last week by Rochelle Mazar, in that she says we are never to old to learn something, ‘Being a “digital native” is not about your early experiences’.
