Digital Divide in the US and Around the World Since the launch of the Internet as a global communication network and the boom in communication technologies, our world has been overwhelmed by a new phenomenon – digital divide. It has gradually turned into a major, constantly growing world issue, threatening to further increase the gap between advanced and developing countries. Yet, is digital divide really an unprecedented occurrence or a natural and unavoidable trend? “Divide” is certainly a
who are technologically savvy and those who are not. Van Dijk coined the term Digital Divide to describe the divide between Digital Immigrants and Digital Natives. The Digital Divide has a duality in which both solutions and problems are created depending upon what side of the divide you belong on. Digital Immigrants are individuals who live by traditional values that were influential before the Internet Age, while Digital Natives are individuals who live by modern values that are influenced by the

Digital Technology and its Effects on Intellectual Development. In the article “Smarter than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our Minds for the Better”, the author Clive Thompson wrote “One of the greatest challenges of today’s digital thinking tools is knowing when not to use them, when to rely on the powers of the older and slower technologies, like paper and books.” Thompson believes that digital technologies are bringing about a new era of life and are overall a great advancement for society;
Digital Video and Copyright Fair Use Abstract: Video is one of the most compelling forms of communication of this time. Over the course of the past few years, the gradual but sure drift from analog to digital in video technology has not only improved the abilities of visual communication media to distribute data, but has also improved their abilities to manipulate the data that they distribute. Digital video technology has advanced to the extent that still image manipulation has been usurped
even what I used at school but kept coming up empty handed. Then it hit me and I began to scan my resources for topics such as digital technology advances, new technology and devices for 2014, and cutting edge design and animation. What do all these topics have in common; they all pertain to video games, and digital electronics technology. One particular digital electronics company stuck out above the rest, and that was Sony. With Sony’s recent release of the Play Station 4 and its already successful
"Although fully searchable text could, in theory, be retrieved without much metadata in the future, it is hard to imagine how a complex or multimedia digital object that goes into storage of any kind could ever survive, let alone be discovered and used, if it were not accompanied by good metadata" (Abby Smith). Discuss Smith's assertion in the context of the contemporary information environment Introduction In the world of preservation and library science the common focus is on preserving content
INTRODUCTION Addition operation is the most important function of digital system. Adder is only not used for the arithmetic operation but also necessary to all modern computers. Adders occupies critical path in key areas of microprocessor, fast adders are prime requirement for the design of fast processing system. Many fast adders are available but the design of high speed with low power and less area adders are still challenging. In modern computers, multiple ALU’S with wide adders and multiple
addition, textbooks are heavy to carry around and it takes longer to find a page. Likewise with digital textbooks they are compatible with tablets, smartphones, and laptops; it’s much easier to carry around and affordable price. However, some people may argue that digital textbooks can be a distraction for people because they would not bother read anymore. The author and poet Dana Gioia argues that electronics alternatives may be a bad influence that will lead society to not read anymore. Gioia complicates
components in modern electronic devices (e.g., computer, video game, cell phone, radio and TV). The status quo in today’s society is “the more, the merrier”, but is that the case with transistors? If the past forty years are any indication, then, yes, the more transistors the merrier! The first computer we most associate with today was invented in 1946. The E.N.I.A.C. or Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator, it was considered by most to be the first fully functional digital computer. Unlike
