A digital immigrant is usually someone over the age of 28. This is becuase they missed out on the digital age when they were younger, so it has taken them longer to develop their skills for using the internet. They usually can access the internet, but at times find themselves lost when they get to certain pages, as they've clicked on them accidentally.
The counterpart of a digital immigrant is a digital native, and that is someone who is very up to date with the technological world and the ever changing media.
