Dear Digital Immigrant,
An Introduction
I realize that I am addressing an audience that may not recognize their own identity, so I will begin by introducing myself: I am a digital native.

You, on the other hand, may be a digital immigrant: someone who didn’t grow up with a keyboard at your fingertips. Memes are a foreign dialect to you. The term VSCO girl may not exist in your vocabulary. You probably reminisce about the days where face-to-face interactions exceeded those on FaceTime, and understand how to use an actual, physical map...
