Abstract
While many studies have examined information and communication technology (ICT) among digital natives, there has been little investigation of the ICT literacy skills among digital immigrants, individuals who were raised in a time before the widespread use of digital technology. This study examined the ICT literacy skills of Hispanic-majority communities relative to measures of community connectedness, Internet use and demographics of individuals. The researchers made use of a survey method in collecting the data from participants involved in the study. Data collected were later analyzed using regression and correlation analysis techniques with the help of the SPSS tool, to find the relationship and effect among variables under study. The findings suggest that it is exposure to technology, not age, gender, ethnic, or educational factors, that is responsible for the development of greater ICT literacy skills. As discovered in the study, factors like age, ethnicity, educational attainment and political beliefs have no significant effect on ICT literacy.
