Digital Divide And Plagiarism

The issue of the Digital Divide can relate to that of online journalists as well. When computers first came onto the horizon, old-school journalists hoarded their typewriters with resistance towards the new PC. While many of these indivdiuals have conformed, there are still a few that are anti-Internet. Many of the old timers have realized the positive effect on one's publication's revenues due to the Internet. The Internet may be the best and the worst thing to happen to Journalism in the last 20 years. The best, because of its influence, on interactivity with readers and the worst, because of the digital divide that it creates.

My program that monitors plagiarism may encourage old timers to actually use the software via the Internet and get themselves online. This program is revolutionary and helpful in watching multitudes of clips (most often from old timers) that are watched for Internet copy predators. The Digital Divide that exists can have two effects on plagiarism via the Internet - 1. keep many individuals in society ignorant of the practices and how to use text on the Internet when they finally get online and 2. keep plagiarism at a steady pace without the entry of new Internet browsers.
