Digital divide

  I could continue showing information about this but it would be too long, e-commerce is a topic that I find very interesting, it gives us the opportunity to choose from thousands of products from different parts of the world, which I find very positive. INEGI statistics show the growth that this type of commerce has had in the last years but, with the pandemic, it has been extraordinary the amount of internet businesses that have been created and that have given the opportunity to many people to become their own bosses and have an extra income, however, I think that the amounts are even bigger than the ones shown in the INEGI platform because most of these new businesses are not registered so we could not have an exact amount of the gross value that they generate in the country. However, looking for more information on how this e-commerce has affected the country, I realized that this development of new technologies is not entirely positive.The fact that e-commerce is growing als...

Knowledge Society

  In our days, we have all the information in our hands and at the same time we have nothing, by this I mean that just as we have useful and truthful information, we can also be victims of disinformation. This is why among the disadvantages of knowledge in society is the possible increase of ignorance. However, I do not think that all this knowledge is bad, thanks to this approach with the internet we are able to know different facts from different parts of the world or events in history without having been there, it also gives us the opportunity of free expression and give our opinion on any topic we want, just like what I am doing now.  In addition, in the more theoretical aspects I can summarize that a knowledge society refers to the type of society that is needed to compete and succeed in the face of the economic and political changes of the modern world, a society that can become well educated, and that relies on the knowledge of its citizens to drive innovation, and dyna...

Evolution of ICT

Imagen
The truth is that technology has become so involved in our daily lives that we don't even notice it anymore. From the moment we wake up, what is the first thing we do? Take our cell phone, and probably all along we communicate by messages and calls with people who are far away from us. And if we want to be informed about the news or important events that are happening in the world, a newspaper is no longer our first choice at all; our phone is, and if we want to listen to a specific song we don't even remember the cd's anymore, we have endless applications to play it and even Alexa if you don't feel in the mood to search for it by yourself. The electronic age, in my opinion, is the age of conveniences, and that's not all bad but we must take advantage of belonging to it. We must know how to use them in the best way and be critical of the technologies we have thanks to the past eras and what we can do with them.
