Going a full day without my computer and smart phone seemed like it would be extremely difficult. However, it was actually easy for me to go an entire day without using both of them. I kept busy by going to the gym, running errands, and catching up on reading for my classes. When I had things that I could keep busy doing it was easier for me to not worry about using any type of computer or phone. I did realize that our lives these days are totally reliable on digital media for communication and entertainment. Those who don’t have access or rarely have access to computers or computing devices have found ways to live their lives around technology. Some of them don’t need to have it or don’t want the technology. If looking for a job most places ask that you apply online but when they do, they do not receive the application right away. If someone did not have access to a computer they would either go to a public library or find a work place that had an in store application that they could fill out. Whether or not an individual has home access to a computer or the internet is a part of what Mossberger and Tolbert refer to as the “access divide.” These days there are public libraries and certain organizations that are set up to help people who do not have at home access to digital media. For some it may be easier than for others but it is doable.
