Immigrants or Natives which one are you? That is a very good question to ask oneself. Many people would say immigrants if you were born before the 80s. Many peoples grandparents do not know how to work technology today. They have a problem with computers as well as cell phones. Though age might be a problem a bigger problem is access.
In class we spoke about rural areas vs. urban. Many rural areas do not have access to technology. This is a huge problem for America. A lot of things are accessed through the internet such as college and job applications. The people in the rural areas are not accessible to such things.
We read about a young man who had to download each page he had to use at home. His mother did not believe in using the internet because she was not able to utilize it and they would have made her pay $70/m for a connection that could not be reached. This is a figth for the country many people believe it should be a right however I do no think so. It is a problem but U.S. has many other issues that they need to face before tackling this one.
