For my Issue Analysis Website, I have chosen the topic of The Digital Divide.

Everyday technology is growing and the gap between the technologically literate and those who are technologically illiterate are growing as well. There have beens attempts made to minimize the casualties of this divide but many attempts have also been put to scrutiny in the public's eyes. The overwhelming amount of nations that are still deprived of technological advancements due to wealth and lack of resources are neither developing nor getting better in the global market. With little help and little to no resources, the digital divide will continue to be a hindrance and separate the powerful and the powerless in the world.

 * ~ **The digital divide is a very interesting topic. This topic is covered in almost every field, for example women and gender studies covers the digital in the way that people women are able to empower themselves through the use of the internet. Whereas on the other hand it also looks at the way that women lose the sense of empowerment because they have no digital access. The idea of the digital divide essentially talks about how there is a gap between the people with access to internet and other technologies and the people without access to the them (otherwise known as the divide/gap). This divide has continuously been growing due to the advancements in technology, but slow access across the world. Luis presented his website very well. He exemplified all the necessary aspects of the digital divide while looking at a way to breach the gap. He show how the gap between people are growing and the ways we can slow down the divide so the the gap becomes smaller. He presented his information very well and left us with a message that we need to keep the digital divide in constant talks so it does not become fake. ** ||
