Uddrag
The article targets two different kinds of readers. The primary target audience is the people who lived in the same generation as McLaren, who is also referred to as “digital immigrants”(l. 50).
They can relate to life before the internet, which makes them more interested in what McLaren has to say about the matter since she is of the same generation.
The secondary target audience is people who share an interest in the future of technology. Here, she specifically targets those who fear that the internet might become a more dangerous place for children.
