Visitor or Resident

Are you a visitor or resident of the internet?
    I see myself a a definite visitor to all aspects of the internet. As I was watching the video and reflecting on where I would fall on the continuum, I was clearly the "private" visitor that he was talking about. When Dr. White discusses how privacy is viewed differently between ages, I began thinking about all of the social networking sites that would be considered the "norm" for my students, yet are foreign to myself. I am someone who has chosen not to sign up for facebook, twitter, etc. in the past, and have only done so since starting this program. Just to give a few examples of my disconnection, I do not even have internet at home. I receive my important work emails through my phone, but generally am off-line after work.
    The theory of the visitor/resident is very clear. I see this difference between my friends and colleagues and although it is clear who shows a commitment to being visible, it is not necessarily a indicator of capability.  I appreciate the idea that just because one is not continuously connected, it does not mean they lack the knowledge or skill necessary for today's online media tools.
