Latinos among the first ‘wired immigrants’
Tagged: bilingualPosted on: December 3rd, 2007
The 41 million Latinos living in the United States are among this country’s first “wired immigrants.”
This group of new citizens and their offspring enjoy widespread access to modern communication tools that were unavailable to previous generations. This access enables us to maintain strong links to our homelands while immersing ourselves in our adopted country’s culture.
Technologies such as e-mail, Web sites, instant messaging, texting and digital telephony allow us to more fully live out our identities as bilingual and bicultural people in a way that was impossible for immigrants of earlier generations”*
