In the video "Visitors and Residents," Dave White talks about two different types of web users. One type is a visitor, who prioritizes privacy and uses the internet for specific objectives, like buying a book from an online retailer, or using skype for a meeting. The second type of web user is the resident, who uses the internet as a space to interact. This type of user uses the internet for social purposes and prioritizes being visible. One point that White makes is that this distinction is not defined by age for the most part; that is people of all ages make up both of these types of internet users. Another point White makes is that the distinction between these two types of user is not black and white, but a continuum. Someone can be located at some point between these two categories of web users.
