Unit 5: Global Project 

What This Project Was About?

This project focused on exploring how different countries use and access technology, and how those differences impact everyday life. Instead of just looking at who has technology, we looked at who can actually use it and benefit from it.

A Change in Perspective

Going into this, I didn’t really think about the digital divide deeply. I always assumed it was mostly about money, like who can afford technology and who can’t.

But I learned it goes way deeper than that.

In South Korea, most people have access to technology, but there are still differences in how people use it. Age plays a big role. Younger people are naturally comfortable with technology, while older adults may struggle more. So even with access, not everyone is experiencing technology the same way.

What I Learned:

This project showed me that technology access is not just about having devices or internet, it is also about understanding how to use them. There are still gaps, even in advanced countries.

Working with my partner also helped me learn how to organize information better and make sure everything connected instead of feeling random. We had to actually think about how our ideas flowed together. We communicated through text and bounced our idea off each other, we shared similar resources so that our information was cohesive and up to think.

💭 Final Thought

Technology connects people, but it can also create gaps. This project helped me realize that access does not always mean equality, and that is something I will definitely think about differently now.
