Changed Research Topic

Recently I changed my research paper topic. Instead of researching digital research I will be researching the digital divide. There are actually multiple divides. I am going to write about various viewpoints on the nature of the digital divide. Also, I will write about statistics which will be the most important part of my paper. The numbers that I have looked at so far show that there is a gulf between those who are computer savvy and those who don't know the basics of using a computer. This gulf divides many segments of our society in a polarizing way. Maybe in my search for more sources I will find evidence that supports the idea that computers and internet usage are actually making the world a more equitable place. I hope to find such data to even out my paper.

  1. Your new research topic is very interesting. I was unaware that there were multiple digital divides. I would love to hear more about your research as you learn more. =)
