1. What is bandwidth? What do you think affects the differences in bandwidth globally as well as in different locations in the U.S.?
Answer
Bandwidth is the measure of the amount of data that can be sent in a fixed amount of time. I believe that population and amount of technology/internet use has a large effect on the bandwidth range in different parts of the world. More specifically in the U.S., i believe that location has the largest effect on bandwidth because some locations are more covered than others.
2. What is latency? How does it differ from bandwidth? Why is it a useful measure?
Answer
Latency is the measure of the amount of time it takes to send a message over the internet. This is different from bandwidth because it measures the amount of time it takes to send a message, not the amount of data per second. It is useful because it helps us observe how different sized files and things differ in transmission speed.
3. What is the digital divide? What are some ways to reduce the effects of the digital divide?
Answer
The digital divide is an economic and social inequality with regard to access to, use of, or impact of information and communication technologies. Some ways to reduce the effects of the digital divide include to spread access to the internet to people who did not previously have it to boost internet equality.
