Diversity in a Technological Society the beginning.

Diversity in our society is seen as race and culture but, that is far from the truth as technology increases and is spread around the world people are seeing diversity in new ways.Technology is now all about digital immigrants and digital natives, people who have grown up with technology and those who didn't. People all around the world are getting closer and closer over the internet because of technology and all of our cultures and differences don't make a difference in the way we look at each other and how we do things. Digital immigrants however don't like this new technology being introduced to them by the newer generations which creates space between some people they don't want to change from the way things used to be in the past, which is know as the digital divide.Technology is increasing and is taking over we must learn to adapt to it and make the changes needed in order to keep up and survive in the technological war.

Problems that are caused is that some people are being left behind and won't "update" the way of living. Even though Technology was meant to bring us together in a way it also separates us as well. Digital natives who grow up with the technology now are used to the electronics and are being separated from the people in the 1900's which leaves a big gap between the younger generation and the older generation in our society. Kids are learning to adapt as soon as they are born they must go to college in order to get a degree and keep up with the updates in technology it is the only way to survive and stay at a job with a good pace. People can't use things the way they did back in the day now they need a diploma to show what they are skilled at and companies have to update now we have to update with the technology instead of sending things by mail some companies have to do everything electronically over the internet which is causing our postal services to run out of business less letter more emails."The U.S. Postal Service sparked uproar this month when it announced plans to stop delivering letters on Saturdays"NICK PERRY. We as the people have to adapt and come together and change in order to survive together in this period by taking in all of the technology.
