Digital Divide

It seems that the digital divide in America is equally divided in two halves. Most American businesses now a days are more relent on the internet as well as education and consumer products. The Internet seems to be important for nearly everyone in the country, but for the other side of the divide it also seems that internet is also not important for some. There are some businesses that don't need any internet connection in order to operate. Before for the internet was ever invented, a lot of people could work or educate. We should care about the digital divide because we can learn how we can go on with our lives with or without the Internet. The divide could be closed if everyone in the USA was given internet connection for free.

Inclusive Video Games

I have been playing Video Games Since before i started Preschool. Since then, i would like to say that Video Games have been apart of my life. As i grew up, i would always try to get the latest games that catches my attention and try to beat the game as best as i can. One of the first games that i remember playing was Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64. I got the game around the same time i got the system, and i use to enjoy playing the game for hours. Playing the game since then had become a whole new experience for as i tried to play as many games as i could for the system, whether the game i played at the time were either bought or rented. The Nintendo 64 and the games i own and played on it probably change my life on playing video games. Video games have been apart of my life, that i eventually would one day try to make my own. I've come to Chico State so that i can learn how to become a game design and then one day make as many games as i can. There were many things that i

One type of communication technology that interests me is the Amazon Alexa (or Echo). I find this tech interesting because it seems that Alexa is programmed to do whatever you tell it to do. I heard that Alexa can answer any of your questions, play your favorite music, and control your smart home when you tell it to. Alexa is a good Kickstarter to talk about. The Technology behind the Amazon Alexa is something that I am trying to figure out, But the way how it works is that it is voice activated and works when you first say "Alexa." Alexa is also able to communicate in many languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and more. According to the book, Alexa can be linked to other mobile apps and possibly costumer services. it seems that you can also order and/or purchases products and stuff through Alexa; since Alexa is a product of Amazon. The Book also seems to say that over 100 million units of Amazon Alexa have been sold all over the world. Amazon prob

The Future of the Music Industry

What I Believe is what the future lies for the Music Industry is that the Industry will continue to grow. The way I see it, it seems that ever since the Music Industry first established it continues to increase every year. What probably makes the Industry to continue on is the music they produces. Every year, over a hundred songs and music are made and sold to a lot of people, and because of this the Music Industry probably makes over millions of dollars every year for producing these songs. What probably causes the Music Industry to continue to grow by making music and making millions is the people. People nowadays enjoy listening to music where every they go, and I believe that if it weren't for the people, then the Music Industry would not continue to make more music. It's like a cycle between the people and the Industry; the industry makes music for the people to enjoy, and the people like the music, causing the industry to make more. With over a Hundred Music being produce
