Task 5.1

Q.5.1) Living in the 21^st century, technology seems to be one of the things that keeps advancing, and it has come to a point, where it has become a big part of people’s lives.

One of the major changes in the digital world, is the ability to connect and communicate with each other from anywhere at any time.  Therefore, one cannot argue the significance of quick and easy communication, as well as more knowledge gained about the go abouts of everyday life on social media.  Technology has become of so much importance in our everyday life, as it is being used for purposes such as, when something needs to be fixed, instead of paying someone to do it, people google for ways on how to fix that specific thing.  Another purpose is that, when conflicts arise or when there are just certain complications, be it in one’s personal life, social life, business environment etc, solutions to these situations is also being googled. 

The restricting of digital rights, therefore has a negative impact on citizens in countries where digital rights are not extended to the majority of its citizens.  The negative impacts being, depriving these citizens from a social life outside their country’s boarders, as well as people not knowing what’s going on in the world.  This sets a huge limit on people’s lives, physically, mentally and economically.

Everyone should have the right to be exposed to digital rights, as this world and everything that happens in it, has effects on the people living in it.
