immigrants who reached adulthood without digital technology. While many embrace new technologies, some do so reluctantly.

to emerge (in a mass sense) largely during the teen years of Generation X.

Willingly embraces the technologies they saw evolve into consumer durables.

Have enjoyed the luxuries of digital technology their entire lives including the massive and lucrative video game industry.
