What is the relationship between cyberspace as a public space and accessibility standards?
Cyberspace seems to be very accessable to as a public space. Libraries and schools almost all have internet acess available, and it is utilized by different genders and races equally. However, as I learned in the second reading that accessability is not so equal when we leave the public sector. It worries me that being educated is a large indicator that a child (or person) will have internet at home, because those who are teying to place themselves into that category are going to have a hard time keeping up. More universal access made possible by some of the tachnologies we learned about could be a solution.
Questions:
How would your life be different if you had/didn’t have internet access at home?
What other public spaces should provide internet access?
What technologies could diminish the digital divide?
