I actually finished ...Thanks for the encouragement!<br />I actually finished writing the first half of the article last weekend. I'll try to finish off the first draft this weekend. The digitally entrenched actually came up in one of the articles I read as part of my literature search. One thing that really stands out to me is the plethora of names out there to describe the current generation. This rush to name this generation seems like a fetish more than anything else. Names like Net-Generation, Digital Natives and Millenials are "quick wins" that don't require much knowledge of the characteristics of this generation.Apostolos K.

Sympathis...It does take an effort to go over stuff! Sympathise here....<br /><br />This digital immigrant/native stuff got me riled a while back. Being at the other end of the age range I naturally resented the idea that I was, by definition, a permanent digital immigrant. So posted about the idea of being a digital pioneer (tech-adopters) . More recently, after some frustration with supposedly digital natives who did only just enough to get them digitally by (and it applies to dig imms too) I wrote about the digitally entrenched. I guess labels are fine but they are just that - a way of describing people which sometimes do not fit.<br /><br />Good luck with your writing!Apostolos K.
