Digital Divisions
While the phrase “digital divide” is often used to describe the separation between those who have access to technology and those who do not, there is another divide when it comes to the digital world. That divide is over the worth and benefit of technology itself. Many people welcome the ease and efficiency that has come with an increasingly digital world. Others raise concerns about an overdependence on technology, as well as an increasing tendency to seek simple, easy answers rather than in-depth knowledge. When it comes to people’s reading habits, this tension is increasingly apparent.

Traditional, printed texts have certain cultural and practical benefits. The mere act of holding a book or article in one’s hand conjures ideas of reflection and introspection. A person sits with one object and one goal: obtaining information from the text. On the other hand, when online, a person is at a greater risk of distraction and might veer off course. Online, a reader strays from a digital text to research other ideas or check that the information in the text is true. However, it remains to be seen whether this way of reading is preferable to exploring ideas within a single text. The peaceful and functional appeal of an individual book or article seems difficult to replace.

Still, for all the simplicity and beauty of a printed text, there are also some limitations. Physical books, for example, can be difficult to carry and inaccessible for some. Digital texts allow greater portability. Digital texts can also be accessed more affordably—or even, at times, for free. Online texts can be adjusted to suit different people’s needs and preferences, including adjusting text size or converting to audio format. The interactive elements of digital texts can also encourage discussion. People no longer need to travel to the nearest book club to discuss a particular text, but rather, they can participate in online forums and discussion. With these various benefits and drawbacks, it appears that people have plenty of reasons to support whatever side of this digital divide they’re on.

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
