Week 8 - Task 3 - website 5

The fifth website I found is a very basic blog. The layout is simple which makes its usability easy but its just really really boring to look at! There are no bright colours on the site which make it quite dull. There is only white and black and a really boring grey used for the colour scheme.

However, it terms of content, what the blog topic actually is and discusses is very useful to the subject of digital immigrants and digital natives. The person writing the blog discusses how and why they don't like the terms 'digital native' and 'digital immigrant'. It is quite a similar discussion to the one I found on website 3 actually. This blog even has a link to that blog which I thought was interesting and I like how two of the websites I've found actually link together. However, I do feel that this persons blog was kind of a re-worded version of website 3's blog and not many new ideas were introduced. For this reason, in the sense of this being a useful article for academic useful sources, I don't think it would be a very useful source to use because there is no information making it evident that this person has any prior knowledge in the sense of academic writting or even good, useful information or ideas of their own about new media cultures.

I did however like that people have commented on this blog so that a discussion is formed about the ideas and things stated within the blog itself.
