The Digital Divide Revisited
"Opportunity for all requires something else today -- having access to a computer and knowing how to use it. That means we must close the digital divide between those who've got the tools and those who don't" (Clinton, 2000)
Even before President Clinton began a series of initiatives targeting the digital divide, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) began surveying internet usage in the U.S., focusing on the "haves" versus the "have nots" as those terms referred to households or groups with access to computers and the internet. Although there is ongoing discussion about the ways and means of measuring the size of the gap, both in the U.S. and worldwide, generally the indicators of availability, access and utilization of Communications Technologies (ICTs) and the ICT Development Index (IDI)1 are used in research to determine the "gap between individuals, households, businesses and geographic areas at different socio-economic levels with regard both to their opportunities to access information and communication technologies and to their use of the Internet for a wide variety of activities” (Understanding the Digital Divide, 2001).
1 The ICT Development Index (IDI) is an index published by the United Nations International Telecommunication Union based on internationally agreed information and communication technologies (ICT) indicators.
The 2014 IDI report lists the United States as ranking 14th among 166 countries surveyed (up from 17th in 2012) (International Telecommunication Union, 2015). What are some of the indicators that are used to assess availability, access, and utilization of the internet? In a research study completed at the School of Business, University of Redlands (Pick, Sarkar, & Johnson, 2015), three areas of concentration are identified. First are the demographic factors. As might be expected, urban locations have the heaviest concentration of broadband access (high speed internet access) and mobile phone availability. Individual internet use in metropolitan areas varies along racial and ethnic lines. Rural residents are significantly less likely to access the Internet than urban and suburban residents. Housing density and people's socializing interactions also impact internet usage. We will discuss the impact of socializing factors later.
Second, economic factors, that is, income has been a significant factor in providing access to computers and in internet usage. Employment in professional jobs and in service industries is strongly associated with technology availability and use.
Third, the level of educational attainment certainly seems to impact both access to and use of the internet. It seems somewhat intuitive to say that the more educated a person, the better understanding that person has of technology and how to use it. In summary,
younger, white, better educated, more affluent, employed, urban and suburban Americans remain more likely to access the I ...
Christina Zarcadoolas - Leapfrogging: What Social Media Is Doing for Communic...Plain Talk 2015
"Leapfrogging: What Social Media Is Doing for Communicative Competence" was presented at the Center for Health Literacy Conference 2011: Plain Talk in Complex Times by Christina Zarcadoolas, PhD, Professor, CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College.
Description: This presenter will discuss how social media and mobile technologies are helping minorities leapfrog the digital divide and what implications this has for communicating health information and advancing public health literacy.
Technology and human life cannot be separated. We use technology in our daily life to travel, to communicate, to learn and more. However technology has also caused us concerns. Its poor application has results into serious threat to our lives and society. So we have conducted a survey to see its effect in our lives

How has social Media affected today’s Youth?
Social Media is a prominent part of today's life, especially among young people. Unfortunately, the users of social media do not stop to think about the effects it has on their lives. For instance, people are becoming anti-social while they are at the same time desperate to make more friends on Facebook or get more followers on Twitter. People need to know the impact of social media, both negative and positive, rather than just engage blindly. While there are many positive aspects of social media, the negative aspects are equally many. To help make the right choices, this paper will be an analysis of the effects of social media on youths, and how the negative effects can be handled.
This paper will help youths and parents understand the dangers of social media and know the boundaries they should use as they use it. Failure to do so will cause them to fall to varying traps and dangers that will have negative consequences. Social media is one sector of the internet that is greatly used by criminals. On this site, youths get exposed to cyberbullying, online predators and sexting. These dangers should be discussed to let people know their damaging effects and how they can be avoided. Other than the above-mentioned dangers of using social media, there are effects that are rarely discussed. For instance, teens are not aware of the dangers of exposing their address on public platforms. This paper will expose these dangers and many more as well as provide the most appropriate solutions.

The Impact of Social Media on College Students

Abstract
There are numerous ways, positive and negative, in which social media impact college students.
Understanding sheer volume of time and the type of activities for which college students use social
networking sites is crucial for higher education administrators. Researchers have begun to empiri-
cally examine impacts on students’ well-being and have found some preliminary results that call for
more research. They find that social media are not the problem—the problem is the specific use and
purpose of social media activities that make the difference.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
