W8.2 Digital Divide / Juhee Cha


1. Summary
Digital divide refer to unequal distributions between different groups, regardless of number, in terms of access, use, or influence of information communication technology (ICT). Some worry that those who do not have access to the Internet and other information and communication technologies will be disadvantaged because they cannot or will not be able to shop online, search for information online or learn the skills required for technology jobs. As poor and disadvantaged children and teenagers spend more time using digital devices and less time interacting directly with people compared to children and teenagers from wealthy families, the division of the station is also taking place.

2. Interesting Point
When the word "Digital divide" was given, the first thought that comes to mind was "the development of the media." With the development of media, the generation of people who are less able to use digital technology has come up with features that they do not know much about information and do not have access to. But the word "Digital divide" is a broader concept than I thought I had. Information gaps can be global, regional and personal, and they can be called technological gaps. It was also learned that the information gap could lead to imbalances among individuals, households, businesses or geographic areas.

3. Discussion
Support for bridging the information gap is said to cause another reverse-discriminatory divide. An example is that you have to give up interacting with others by spending more time on training and training using digital devices. What should we do to solve these problems?

However, it has been criticized for lack of legitimacy, neglect of female inequality in employment, and uneven achievement rate, but it has contributed a lot to many equal development. Interesting point I knew that international politics was carried out in a complex and selfish atmosphere. However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law. Human rights have been modified and established over a long period of time.
