“GOOGLE IT” A phrase that would have seemed strange a few years back has become part of our vocabulary now. This makes me wonder how did this change take place? How did we go from spending hours in the library to find the right information to having a thousand or more results available to us with just a single click? Technology has revolutionized the world around us but if we rewind back a few decades, the world looked very different. Not everyone had a computer or tablet with him or her, phones were considered luxury and not a necessity and getting access to the internet was not as easy as it is now. Interestingly, this is the conceived bubble we live in. Through this project I bring the issue of digital divide, and how technology that is so important now is still just available to a limited few. Also in this project I have brought up the topic of the disability that the elderly face with the continuously improving technology. After completing this project I realized that there is a need to address these issues of divide relating to the usage of technology not only in the racial, economic and social section but also among the elderly.
