  1. Digital Diversity By Jason Paul

  2. Thesis • Digital diversity covers a wide range of technologies used today by a large amount of people who are from all over the world. So to avoid ethnocentrism, society should provide access to technology to those who might not be able to provide themselves with this access to digital medias.

  3. What is digital diversity?

  4. The Digital Divide Information Access to Computers or other forms of digital medias

  5. Ethnocentrism

  6. The reason I am defining digital diversity this way is because it seemed to me that most of the class the subject we were talking about could be traced back to the digital divide. The class also referenced back to the diversity of the digital medias as well. Even my groups final project discussed a little about the digital divide. When listening to other groups presentations I noticed that the digital divide was a discussion point for their project as well. In our text books there were even entire chapters that discussed the Others and how digital media could cause ethnocentrism. When making this video I decided to focus more on the people that define how different medias are used and not so much the actual digital medias themselves. Since this video is about “Digital Diversity is…” , and there are two parts. The Digital and the Diversity, therefore I choose to analysis the diversity. By focusing on the people aspect I am able to also get glimpses into the digital part as well.

  7. The Diversity is referring to both the diversity in technology and people, however, since we were suppose to define digital diversity of how it is created, rejected, and practiced on a global scale. I decided to focus on the human factor, because we humans make these type of decisions. To me this seemed like it was more important because when digital medias are broken down they are just a bunch of 0’s and 1’s.
