I think this article by 'The Local' open my eyes to different way of thinking about the internet. I read this article thinking I didn't think that gender or class has impact with youth. I think after reading it I believe some of that view has changed. I think we should look at these two elements and the impact they might have on our young generation.
"Although 92 to 99 percent of all schoolchildren say they have access to computers and the internet at school they do not become a part of daily school life until the students are in their late teens and many thus learn to use the web at home"
I this qoute this show how fast the internet is growing in ou school areas. I think we should also look at what it means if young person doesn't have it at home. I think when its offer at school, but internet isn't at home make struggle for the young students. I think it creates gap between young and gap in our education system. I think it brings up the class issues and a new challenge for youth. I think this can oppress some groups who aren't as lucky to have it at home. I think it makes it harder for some students than others. I think we should at from tools to help out those who aren't able to have internet at home. I think governent would need to step in and make a program to help them out. I don't it should be hand out, because I think it make people ashame for a hand out. I think it should program that still can have people be proud of their status. I believe this also important for the youth to see government to care about their education and think that government values them. Either way I think something needs to work to close the gap that is being created not for the youth now, but also for the future generation.
