Born Digital

I was not really able to relate with the first half of this reading, as I am in born in the digital age. What struck me most about this reading was the fact that the author had assumed the audience was someone of their own age. The reading Born Digital illustrates the different age generations, with respect to technological advancements. One of the developments relayed in this reading is that of the development of "bulletin board systems", which later gave way to the more popular forum, and from the concept related technologies emerged such as texting and Instant Messaging. In this digital age religious ceremonies are carried online, and entire support systems for churches are being designed and applied so that anyone in the world can access them. The reading goes on to discuss how individuals of the technology age shop online, rather than go to stores. Communicate through social networking sites, and how ultimately there is rather large gap of technological challenged people who still have to catch up. This work thoroughly illustrates how important it is to be born in a digital age, and to be brought up with technology.
