The anticipated differences in the incorporation of information technologies in rural settings and urban settings can be associated with social status indicators related to the early adoption of innovations. The ethical dilemmas are due to Structural barriers that are related to the rural-urban digital divide that continue to limit residents in rural areas from adopting and using information technologies. Those who are the innovators have of the technologies have done less to eliminate the constraints. Information regarding how to a job, information on purchase decisions, and other information are increasingly difficult for the rural digital divide. To bridge this gap, innovators need to eliminate the traditions that limit the adoption of information technologies in nonmetropolitan areas.
Part 2: Responses on classmates’ Articles
Response on Lisa Ravanelli’s Work
Lisa chose the rural and remote areas to divide. The digital divide is much associated with differences in internet access between rural and urban residents. This is a social problem because it affects the way access information and communicate with each other. According to her, rural areas in which she lives have lagged due to limited internet access due to internet dropping issues. The internet is very slow in the rural setting and cannot even allow her to access relevant information she needs, including the information needed for studies. Even though the remoteness is nice for her family, issues with the internet make her miss relevant information. I agree with the argument of Lisa. This is because the internet is more important for education as it provides information.
Response on Lakesha Philips Article
Philips chose the intergenerational digital divide. This refers to differences in the different generations, such as generation X and the millennial. According to Phillips, the divide has been advantageous to her because he is considered a millennial. It is also advantageous to her due to technology that enables her to do almost everything. However, it is regarded disadvantageous because too much reliance on the internet, even on a task, could have been done using the brain. I agree with Philips’s argument, in which she argues that older people are missing out on what life can offer in the technologically advanced world. This because they tend to refrain from adopting and using technology due to poor attitude towards technology.
