Digital Division....

Digital Division is a complicated thing. There were many different cases that we read in class that can review all of the things that can be related to digital division. Digital division to most people is the trouble with accessing the computer and the connectivity of all the computer has to offer. The computer in general can be a tough thing to follow I would assume that learning on the computer and having trouble with access of everything and anything on the computer will never be solved. From the readings of Warschauer he doesn't agree with the definition of  the digital divide because truthfully there is a lot more problems to deal with than just access of a computer and using all of its applications. For one the most important thing I think is the fact that even if you had all the tools to access the computer and every application in the world, you have to have some education on how to use them. There is also a language barrier, the world's most common language for the computer is English, in other countries such as China or France may have no problem, but the underpriveled countries would have to learn a whole other language to even start a computer and sign in. There is also the problem of the cost of broadband vs. dial up. Cost is one thing but like in the case of New Dehli, they only could use dial-up, there is way more access involved with Broadband, faster downloads for one and most sites now you need to have broadband to access them. There is the case of total cost which plays into most of it, everything you do now-a-days costs you money in one way or another from driving your car to wearing shoes on your feet. Driving your car because it runs on gas and gas is ridiculous, then wearing shoes even, they will eventually wear out not matter what unless you change shoes everyday, I have close to 20 pairs of shoes and they wear out on the soles. A computer is expensive from the cost of repairs to buying applications for the computer as well as internet access, today the access is the expensive for the faster you want your computer to be. There's a lot more to digital division than even the words that I've put down, and I think that there always will be. 

How this relates to interpersonal relationships, digital division can even divide relationships. Say you have a significant other in another country, where access is minimal, it would be hard to communicate with the other and the only way you could do this is over the computer, phone calls are way to expensive, the cost of a computer is probably way too expensive over seas. Over seas as well in some areas there probably not much broad band as well as there is in America. Digital Division in a way almost helps personal communication, because if we didn't have computers or had trouble accessing the computer and all its applications say the internet where people mostly communicate now with Twitter, Facebook, etc. then people would be forced to communicate with each other in person, well at least talk on the phone instread of the internet.
