The two terms a digital native and a digital immigrant were coined and defined by Marc Prensky in his article Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants.

A digital native is a person who has been exposed to new technologies since early childhood. He or she is surrounded by laptops, tablets and a bunch of other smart devices. He or she often interact and perceive the world through video games and social networks. A digital immigrant is a person who has learnt how to use technologies later in their life.
