Continuous and rapid development and change of technology facilitates the lives of individuals. owever, low-skilled adult individuals who cannot follow technological developments and are technologically inadequate have difficulties in keeping up with the age. Facilitating the accessibility of the internet provided more user access, which has created a new culture within itself. This culture brought with it the concepts of digital immigrants, digital natives and digital hybrids (Persky).
Digital immigrants are defined as individuals born before 1980. Their most important feature is that they cannot use digital media tools effectively. Digital natives; they are in a virtual environment as soon as they are born, they are not afraid of using technology, breaking or doing wrong. Among the digital immigrants, there are also individuals who adapt well to the digital world, and these are called Digital Hybrids.
It has been determined that the online software we created within our district governorship needs a face-to-face application desk that digital migrants cannot actively use. In this case, it has revealed the necessity of working in this field, where the adults in our target group cannot use basic digital competencies.
