In order to connect society, we must understand the issues that are dividing the communication between people. I believe a strong issue in society is digital divide. Technology is improving everyday, which means, those that are unable to access technology are becoming less knowledgeable in some fields than those accessible to technology. In many counties, students are unable to learn to their fullest potential due to the lack of tools that can strengthen their skills. In countries such as Rwanda, the amount of technology is low in comparison to the United State, which may result in a continuous gap in knowledge. Also, digital divide applies to the gap between teenagers and seniors. Due to the education students are currently receiving, the material taught is recent and “up-to-date”. On the other hand, seniors used older tools to communicate and gain knowledge, but may not be able to educate themselves to the current tools used. The digital division of society should be minimized and kept equally.
 * Change Camp: Minimize Digital Divide **

To minimize digital divide is an idea that can connect society at a closer level. Due to the constant development of technology, the communication level between people are increasing; however, the communication level is decreasing as well due to the lack of knowledge of the innovations. In order to increase the knowledge of society as a whole and decrease one’s lack of knowledge in technology, people should work together to spread the knowledge of technology. To increase the communication level of those that does not own certain modern tools, it may be best to gather technological devices and send them to countries such as Rwanda, so they are able to get a more diverse and a variety of tools that other countries contain. This will allow them to aim to stay consistent with other parts of the world. On the other hand, to decrease the digital division between teenagers and seniors, changecamp can organize an event that allows teenagers and those “up-to-date” with the current technology to show and educate the seniors how to use some technologies and why certain tools are so important to today’s society. In creating this event, I hope that people will be able to relate and understand one another more. In addition, I hope that minimizing digital divide will bring together a closer community.
