This week in class we talked about the use of technology and how it can widen or narrow the inequality gap. I think that technology only widens the gap of inequality. Sure it can be of great help when a person is able to use it, but it comes at a price. Unfortunately not all of us can afford it. I found this article talking about social media and the effects it has on social networking. Social media sites were designed to bring people together but the exact opposite happens. People go inline and meet people that are similar to themselves and do not really expand their networks. It creates a greater inequality. This article obviously explains it better. Its a good read and is very similar to this weeks discussions.
