Digital Dessert: Five Facts Reaction

I am not going to post the five facts that my group and I gathered for this project because David already posted them. I just want to express some of my thoughts about on them.

Again, our group is doing a project on WIFI accessibility in Allentown, PA. The more I learn about this issue the more I become attached to this project. Even though our video will only reach a small number of people, I am very proud of the work we are doing. WIFI is a necessity to function in the modern world. We need it do to things like find and apply for jobs, to learn, and to connect with others. It is so widely used that everyone is expected to have it. However, this is not a reality. There are a lot of people even in the U.S without access. Many of these people are low-income people of color. Thus, this is another example of how a lack of access contributes to the oppression of people of color and perpetuates cycles of poverty.
