Mind The Gap Article

In this article Carver talks about the internet being a tool we use to access information and knowledge. It is our privilege to have access to the whole world like we do and some may take it for granite because there are plenty of people out there who do not have access to the internet. There are so many people out there who have an upper hand because they have access to knowledge that can be very beneficial to everyone but not everyone can get it. Carver talks about how most people have this access but do not have the proper training to be computer literate. I think if more people had a better knowledge of how to navigate the internet and use technology then we would not have as much of a divide.

Cyborg Manifesto

In this article Haraway focuses a lot of her argument on the characteristics of a cyborg in a scientific culture and how masculinity is more present. A lot of the article talks about how some of the characteristics if not most are very masculine rather than feminist. She is trying to give a female perspective on the subject. Her manifesto for contemporary conversations on gender and digital media is related in this article to other articles we have already gone over such as the video game article and the Chicano article. She is trying to support a social feminist movement by pointing out the stereotype women are still being put in today through our scientific culture. I think throughout the past women have come a long way but I don't think it is perfect yet because there are still very ignerant men that view women as weaker and that is very sad.
