Chapter 19 introduced the impact of the global digital divide. According to the authors, countries that lag behind the rest of the world’s ICT capabilities encounter difficulties at various levels. Discuss specific areas, both within and outside, eGovernance, in which citizens living in a country that lags behind the rest of the world in ICT capacity are lacking. Include in your discussion quality of life, sustainability, safety, affluence, and any other areas that you find of interest. Keep this discussion short.
To complete this assignment, you must do the following:
A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, discuss specific areas, both within and outside, eGovernance, in which citizens living in a country that lags behind the rest of the world in ICT capacity are lacking. Include in your discussion quality of life, sustainability, safety, affluence, and any other areas that you find of interest. Keep the post short by using 4- 8 sentences to discuss this topic.
B) Select AT LEAST 1 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that student’s recommendations. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread.
Remember your initial and subsequent post to peer should be posted by Tuesday 11:59 PM (EST). You should end the week with 2 total discussion posts. A quality post is more than stating, “I agree with you.” Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmate’s post.
NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your words.
