DIGITAL DIVIDE.....the digital divide is something that has been plaguing our generation since the beginning of the internet age. The baby boomers look down upon the digital generation stating that we are lazy and dont know how to do things for ourselves. Many NGOs and other companies are currently trying to bring together the two ages. Many "third world" countries do not have access to the internet or computers for that matter. We must figure out a way for everyone to be on the same page so that our economy/community can work together thus more smoothly. Many children around the globe dont have an equal chance since they are on the other side of the digital divide. Some argue that American companies who outsource to countries like India are actively bridging the gap. I personally believe that the gap will eventually bridge itself as time goes on. The internet and computers are still relatively young so eventually they will reach around the world....all we need is time.
