Response to Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants After reading this essay, I agree with Mr. Prensky that America’s youth is constantly leaning towards the uniformity of digital technology in society today. Each generation is becoming more dependent on technology than the last, consequently forcing them to subconsciously lose their ability to obtain information through books and other tangible resources. As human beings, when one of our five senses are weakened or lost, the remaining gets stronger. Therefore, in the same concept, when one sense is heightened another is weakened. This technological generation lacks what the “obsolete” society calls, sociably acceptable standards: Sociable standards such as finding information and research through

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, was said to have been written about how technology like television and other media were making people less interested in ideas. Bradbury was thinking of the future and how it could be affected by over use of electronics. Mathew Ingram, a blogger on Gigaom tech blog, had asked “Are we living in Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451?” I believe that we almost living in the world of Ray Bradbury’s novel.
