This was a very risky website as anyone can input data into it. It shows a short summary of what 'digital immigrants' and in fact has some use as it focuses more on where the anology came from and on Prensky's concept of 'accents', which in other articles have been overlooked by his work on education.
It says that the site was modified on February 4th 2009, which is the most recent article that i've looked at so far. However if i was to compare this website to the others, i would say that this site would only be useful if it was an introduction to 'digital immigration' or like me a summary, as it only gives account of what the term is. There are argument for and against. Moreover, one argument is very strange and applies Prenskys work with 'Eloi and Morlocks' which are fictional species based on H.G Wells 1985 for his novel 'The Time Machine'. I suppose it could be linked to this concept but to me it seems to be a perculiar link.
Furthermore, there are other references, which if backed up with previous websites makes sense. Ultimately like i wrote, this site would be useful for an introduction or a summary, nothing more. It lacks in extensive reliable information.
