Digital Natives vs Immigrants: NEP 2020's Vision for a Unified Digital Future

Author(s) Kriti Gupta, Kiran Lata Dangwal
Country India
Abstract The digital divide is a multidimensional problem, involving the inequalities of access to technology, the digital skills, and the social and economic issues that follow. While the digital divide has been largely examined in terms of the financial and geographical aspects of the problem, the generational factor is becoming highly significant, with huge consequences for society & involvement, workforce development, and the achievement of intergenerational equality. This conceptual paper explores the digital divide via a generational perspective by examining the discrepancies in digital technology access, digital literacy skills, and the effects on different age brackets. Younger generations referred to as “digital natives” have digital fluency because of their early encounter with technology whereas the older generations, referred to as “digital immigrants” face challenges linked to digital access and usability. This research shows that the gaps between generations come with these consequences, including areas of schooling, employment, access to health care, and social integration. Therefore, the paper states, that admitting the unequal impacts between age groups and making the necessary reforms to promote digital literacy and ongoing education for older people are the key points in this matter. This paper investigates strategies in NEP 2020 for spanning the digital divide from the generational point of view highlighting the importance of policy reforms, community initiatives, and educational strategies for an inclusive digital transformation across all age groups, thus creating a more inclusive and connected society.
