"The digital divide: small, social programs can help get seniors online" by Wilding, Raelene, and Loretta Baldassar
This article brings up a ongoing problem with the web usage. Not all can use it and primarily the senior citizens can't seem to use it correctly and efficiently and we are the problem. There are programs which attempt in helping senior citizens but it's not as efficient  such as the Telstra Tech Savvy program, and iPad seniors group . This article puts emphasis on the forgotten group of people which are not to proficient in this material as do others such as teenagers. There's a problem and it needs to be brought up and a solution must be found. I truly believe this is a problem because I can use personal knowledge my parents aren't as quick as I am to use technology and imagine my grandparents they didn't grow up with such revolutionary technology as my generation and it is difficult to learn anything at first and thats where help is needed to get older people more custom to this technology for the better. Technology is only set to continue growing and everyone wants to grow alongside with it and is for the better of everyone to help each other out in learning this new technology because it is the future of mankind.

Thats just one there is many more such examples which have floors you can say to keep something simple. Such as a business which has franchises which has stores which has  employees. A book too has chapters which have paragraphs which have lines. A bunch of things have abstractions to provide the simplest and best use.  Discuss how not knowing some basics of how a software tool or computer works, and the abstractions they use, could lead to bad outcomes. Not knowing basics is just going to lead up to complications and errors. Knowing basics is very much needed. You can't do something without having knowledge because you are basically setting  yourself up for fa...

WBL Workshop #4

Jhoan Alexander WCP WBL Workshop #4 - Resume Training The fourth WBL workshop dealt with constructing our resumes. Your resume in a way is a method used in advertising yourself. Your resume dictates whether you are or are not a candidate for a certain job, resumes are highly important and used by the majority of employers. In your resume it is best you are honest with your abilities, you do not want to be lying to your possible employers and are exhorted to be your true self. Resumes carry information regarding your educational history, work history, skills, and personal information and this includes phone number, email. Address, etc. My first experience in making a resume was nothing difficult, expressing yourself in one page rather than multiple is not difficult as it may seem, the only difficult part is being concise making everything fit neatly and efficiently.  Good resumes must have a neat layout which an employer can be able to read with ease and learn about you. ...
