Day: January 17, 2017

From Twitter – I missed something, but I’m not sure what it was.

We have been looking at sci-fi films with Togethertube, I missed a session. A discussion on Twitter reminded me of Memento, a film where the protaganist uses “an intricate system of Polaroid photographs and tattoos to track information he cannot remember.” (wikipedia)

Technology itself is not the cause of the digital divide, though if we froze all progress and took stock of where we are, that might not be a bad thing. It’s not going happen with the current
economic and political will driving adoption forward. That said, peoples’ opinions often create, or perpetuate, blocks where adoption of new technology less welcome.

From Twitter – The Digital Divide

The digital divide, as discussed by Hand (2008, p34) is alive and well between education institutions also.
