Abstract

Abstract: This study explores how young Korean migrants appropriate information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Canada. Drawing on qualitative interview data, the study focuses on Korean ‘digital generation’ immigrants who grew up with the rapid development of the ICT industry in Korea. By addressing the specific demographic of young migrants who have already been saturated by digital media in their pre-migration childhood, the study explores how the young people’s memories of earlier digital media use are articulated with their adoption of newer media forms during the post-migration period. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
