"Some say that there are three types of digital immigrants:

1. Avoiders: People who don’t adapt to new technology at all. They might still get the newspaper delivered, refuse to text, or be unwilling to learn how to use a new smartphone.

2. Reluctant Adopters: They know about the new forms of technology and are slowly figuring it out. They’re not hostile, just wary and a bit overwhelmed. This is probably me. (I was one of my last friends to get a cell phone, for instance. I hate texting, but I’ll do it.)
