Who is affected by the digital divide? Can we think of some groups?/김윤(KIM YOON)


I think older people are subject to the digital divide, as shown in the text. 

Older people who make up the present era have already grown older and are beginning to face the rapid development of digital devices such as smartphones. Physical aging begins in the elderly, such as presbyopia and decreased response speed. By the way, the world in smartphones contains very fast and rich audio-visual materials, and smartphones contain numerous functions that are even hard for all young people to know. Young people have been exposed to smartphones since childhood so they can better understand the functions of smartphones than older people and easily learn how to do so. For older people, on the other hand, smartphones are not easy to access from it, and even if they learn how to handle smartphones, it can be difficult for them to continue to accept and apply new features and information directly because digital companies constantly release new and different functions. Therefore, I think older people realize the inevitable digital divide. 

Do you think what I suggested makes sense? Who do you think is affected by the digital divide?

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.

W10. Human_rights / Lee Se Hyun

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. From ancient times to the post-World War II international human rights treaties, various changes and considerations continued. Since the 1966 Human Rights Treaty, the concept of human rights has been established and human rights are guaranteed at the international level through the UN, an international organization.
