The Visitor and Resident principle presents how user preference and habit motivates engagement in social media. It contrasts with Presky's digital native in that it rejects hard divisions based on the age of the user.


Introduction

[edit]

The Visitor/Resident Principle makes a separation between different approaches to engaging with social media. The Resident is an individual who lives a percentage of their life online. The web supports the projection of their identity and facilitates relationships. The Visitor is an individual who uses the web as a tool in an organised manner whenever the need arises[1][failed verification] The concept rejects Prensky's claim that there are digital natives based on age or gender and instead focuses the onus on the user's desired level of engagement.
