The digital gap between those who can utilize technological/media outlets and those who cannot is a definite reality. However, as YouTube is essentially a form of participatory culture I don't know if that really matters. There is no digital requirement in our society that forces people to be literate in technology in order to participate in our REAL culture. Unless we are considering the internet community as the only form of meaningful social interaction we shouldn't consider those who are unable to contribute to YouTube as somehow inferior. I understand the necessity of digital education and I agree that exposure to internet technology such as YouTube is essential to understanding the intriguing cultural moment we find ourselves in, however I don't believe that it defines our participation with society.Emily Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990642748828079882noreply@blogger.com
