Abstract
A recent study examining perceptions of information security identified that people are mostly concerned about potential day-to-day threats that can affect them, and more importantly, their children. The study also found that most people don’t understand how to protect themselves because they have not been well educated about how to use technology safely and effectively. The authors suggest the need for courses or full educational programs in digital living. Our study examines how perceptions of digital natives differ from digital immigrants in that digital immigrants have real-world, pre-online experience to better put the use of online resources into context, as digital natives have less of an understanding in separating their online world from the real world. Our digital technology involves new advantages and new risks, only by means of education can these risks be mitigated.
