This week in class we talked about the use of technology and the inequalities that come with it. Technology was created to bring people together, but in my opinion it is pushing people apart. When using social networking sites instead of searching for new people to talk to or things to do, instead we continue doing what we know. We become friends with family, high school friends, and we play games that we were originally interested in outside of the internet world. When we do become friends with people that we don't know we do it because they know someone or they are interested in similar things that we are interested in.
The inequalities that this creates is that it separates people who know and have access to the technology and the people who have know idea how to use technology or don't have access. The younger generation is growing up in a world that has easy access to technology. We almost expect that everyone should know how to use technology and should have access to it. We don't like to explain how to use it or understand how someone doesn't know how to use it or who doesn't want to learn how to use it. While thinking about this I decided to youtube old people using computers and found this very funny video clip. Hope you enjoy!
