Website crticism five

This website is also written in 2001, so for the same reasons as the last, may be dated in its relevancy. This site takes a look at Digital Immigration through medicine and science. It talks about how “Digital Native students” have become the way they are for psychological reasons. It also questions science’s view that the brain doesn’t change physically, by arguing that modern culture causes people’s brains to adapt. There is a lot of scientific evidence to show this, and the author delves into different fields, such as neuroplasticity. However, some of this includes research done on rats and ferrets, which surely doesn’t help when considering the effects cultural development no digital immigrants and natives. To my knowledge the ferrets are not that advanced yet. Being serious, the site is dated by 7-8 years, so any medical advances or changes could easily occurred in this time. The site suggests that natives have a short attention span when it comes to older and traditional learning methods, which again, highlights the struggle between natives and immigrants when communicating and developing one another. The site is well written, and uses lots of evidence, which makes it good and believable.
