学习数字化生存:“数字移民”的社会适应与媒介支持

Learning Being Digital:The Social Adaptation and Media Support for″Digital Immigrants″

出生、成长于互联网普及之前且现已进入中老年阶段的“数字移民”,在数字技术应用、数字媒介素养和数字文化理解方面,均与以青少年为主体的“数字原住民”有很大差异,也决定了“数字移民”在当下数字化生存环境中必然面临再适应和“再社会化”的挑战。从技术应用、社会行为和文化认同等三个维度对“数字移民”数字化生存适应性进行观察,发现“数字移民”在技术的生活场景应用与数字交往等方面适应性较好,在文化认同层面适应性最差,“数字鸿沟”仍然存在且不断加剧。系统性的媒介支持一方面能够帮助数字弱势群体追求美好数字生活,另一方面也是媒介技术公共价值实现的必然要求。

In terms of the application of digital technology,digital media literacy and digital cultural understanding,the″digital immigrant″who was born and grew up before the popularization of the internet and now has entered the middle and elderly age,has huge differences from the″digital natives″who are mainly young people.This means that″digital immigrants″inevitably face the″resocialization″of adapting and integrating into digital society.For the adaptation of″digital immigrant″to the digital society,it is found that through the observation of three aspects of technology application,social behavior and cultural identity,″digital immigrant″has better adaptation in the daily application of technology and digital communication,while adapting poorly in cultural identity,and the″digital divide″still exists and continues to grow.″Digital immigration″needs systematic media support.On the one hand,it can help digital disadvantaged groups fully adapt to digital life.On the other hand,it is also an inevitable requirement of public value of media technology.
