 Philip Crivello DTC 101-1

 The gap between people of different regions where one country or group has more technology capabilities than another, also applies to generation differences  Schools and Jobs are starting to use more tech-centric elements to get more done  “within the next decade about 80 percent of jobs one would need to know how to use digital technology…” (fcc.gov)

WWII Generation  Clyde Fullerton (Grandparent):  Not at all in the digital divide  Use of technology was phones, otherwise not much Baby Boomer  Mary Crivello (Parent):  Had a phone  Did not start using a computer until in her 20’s for work  Prior she used an electric type writer

Sarah (1980’s-early 2000’s)  Was not into much of technology  Did not use much of a computer until High School-was an IBM  Did not get a cell phone until her 20’s James (1990’s-present)  Almost always wanted to go outside  Grew up playing some video games and use of the computer a bit  Wants the latest and greatest now  But still wants to go outside

 Haylie and Kenzy:  Tech-centric generation (Born after 2000)  All they want to do is play on technology (computers, iPod/Pads, video games etc.)  Needs “outside time”  School has links on their website for them to use

 There’s a huge gap between the Pre-WW2 generation and the beginnings of Digital Natives  The gap is also huge between the new generation of today and their parents (almost as great)  The divide is increasing with each generation but the divide also decreases because of newer technology
