People who grew up with technology (like you) are called 'digital natives' because they learn how to handle new technology from birth. People who have only learnt to cope with modern technology later in life are called 'digital immigrants'.
Create your timelines about becoming digital natives. Think about the time that has passed from your birth up to now:
- Can you remember when you first got in touch with mobiles, computers, etc.?
- When did you get your first own TV set, computer, mobile, etc.?
- Indicate on the timeline how often you buy a new mobile - try to trace back home many mobiles you have already got (Go backwards in time to figure that out!).
- At least, indicate the date when you got your last mobile. Think about more things that you could possibly indicate.
Always type in your first name before adding an event to your country's timeline.
Read the detailed description. In the pictures you can find boxes with the colours from the tasks. Look for them and do everything exactly as explained!
