Issue in literacy

One issue in today's world of literacy that I found interesting was the difficulty people have to getting access to a computer or even the internet becuase of the country they live in and its affects of economic system. The reason why I picked this issue to write about for my research paper was because although many people in America today have full access to the internet I wanted people to understand that technology is also forming a gap between those who have and do not have a computer and countries like China, India and many countries in Africa contain the majority of the population who are illitrate not only in the use of technology becuase they do not have it but in reading and writing as well due to the low income country they live in unlike America which is wealthy.

Research Paper

The research paper I found a little complictated to compose when I first found out about it but as it was broken down into introduction, resources, body, etc this made it much easier to write up especially having articles to relate to and get information from. The braking down process also makes it time manageble for me, this way I am able to do page by page by every due date of a week until I complete the essay rather then leaving the whole six or whatever amount of pages for one day.

Illiterate

Throughout this month in college I learned that Im illiterate in using a computer properly. I just purchased a laptop for school purposes and Im not doing so well in saving or transfering information. Bellieve it or not I haven't used a computer in over 4 years , maybe just at the library or a friends to check my email or listen to music but other then that I don't even have an idea as to how a file is downloaded. Now that I'm in college Iam obligated to use the computer and I am learning little by little how to use it to write up my essays and do homeworks online like this for example or to check upcoming events at LaGaurdia or to get in contact with my proffessors or fellow students at E-Porfolio.
