Greetings everyone. 

I liked White and McCormu's ideas of Visitors and Residents; how we could be visitors/residents of the same tool depending on time and space. I am curious how will I be placed; I have an account on LinkedIn, I visit the app almost everyday, read others' posts, like them/comment on them, but I hardly post. I don't seem to be a visitor, I am resident, but an non-participating resident or a low-participating resident? Should there be more nuances to the terms "visitors" and "residents"? The concept of a "sliding scale" perhaps seems appropriate here. 

White's equation of language and digital natives/immigrants is also an interesting one. I wonder here, with constantly evolving technology, can a native be a native forever? There might always be something the native might not be aware of; s/he is new to it and the immigrant and native have the same start line when it comes to this change in technology. In this context, the idea of "learning literacies" made sense. 

Thank you for reading my post, 

Smruti.
