"But despite the media’s penchant for beating to death anything to do with the Internet, a new phrase has recently entered the public’s online lexicon, one that actually carries significant societal ramifications: the “digital divide.” In the most basic sense, the digital divide is the ever-growing gap between those people and communities who have access to information technology and those who do not. (In other words, to use another pedestrian metaphor, the have’s and the have-not’s.) The digital divide has been on the radar screens of those of us in the policy world for a while now, but over the course of 1999 its profile was raised as more political leaders took an interest in the subject."
The article show us many way in which the digital divide is one of the most important part of civil rights. We all know the all know have civil right is a very impowing feeling. No one should every feel like they are nobody. Also article show tje real number of people who have access to the internet at home and other place they may travel to in there daily lives.

The article Cybory Manifesto by Donna Haraway is a good piece. I like how it talks about the us being part cyborg in a way. Humans as a whole are all inegrated in to a circuit of life. We all know how to use the internet to fine out information.The biggest thing right now is the fact that we can tell the difference between male and female. The part of being human is being able to know how the other gender works in different situations. We all know that males trend to be more domain about things. But, on other hand we all know that women can be just as strong as men. This is the idea of feminism comes in to play. Being a strong, self-filling, able woman comes in to the big picture. The article says towards the end that we are going to have to become part of this giant cyborg matrix. The fact is that if to gender; age and some many other things are going too lost to the fact that we are part of a one huge system of data. I honestly do not want to be a part of this one size fits all standard. I know the day in age will come were we are all going to have conform to a new normal everyday life.Even though some people may want this type of change I know that I have to be ready for this change to come. I may not like it but it is some that is going to happen may ten years from now.
Feminism is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes. The view, articulated in the 19th century, that women are inherently equal to men and deserve equal rights and opportunities. More recently, feminism is a social and a doctrine that advocates equal rights for women; feminist movement: the movement aimed at equal rights for women; political movement that took holds in the United States in the late 1960s and soon spread globally. I understand the fact that women have more power not then than back in the old in days but still I wish I could understand this consist need for more. I guess in my mind I just wish everything could be just equal. I know they say it is but I know it is not. So I guess in the end maybe being a cyborg is not a complete horrible idea. The thing I worry about is being a unique person with thoughts and feeling to only me.
So the question I ask you is were do you want to stand when the age of being a cyborg comes about?
