We are living in an era of high-speed information and technology. We touch a button on the remote control to power up the TV, click a banner on a computer screen to purchase clothes, kitchen utensils, books, etc. With ease, we can watch our favorite movie in crisp, high-definition on our Blu-ray player. However, many people who cannot lead a life with those kinds of IT tools and even think about it. Generally, those who are isolated from this flow are the poor, the unhealthy, the old, or the urbanized. It means they are detached from the main stream even though they are breathing under the same sky.
Before I mention the topic directly, I would confess to readers that I have been lived as a selfish onlooker. When I first bought a computer, I was an 11-year-old girl. At that time it had DOS operating system. It had only black and white wallpaper and it was too slow to figure out my order. While I struggled with this machine, brand new models came out in the market. After that, I changed hardware and software more than 20 times, because I have been constantly needed to purchase more comprehensible one. .
That is the simple reason that I had to have. I never thought about that there were the others who were still long for tasting new cyber world and I had no concern about that my wasted, dull PC is not going to corrode. I just read so many articles that the government financially subsidized digital-alienated people. Also I learned that IT society is not harmful for the Mother Nature, when it is compared to the former one, industrial society. In other words, that environmental disruption, famine, digital divide and so forth exist is not the important matter to me. As long as those problems happened far away from me, I tapped the keyboard and clicked the mouse as usual.
The first problem is related to us, human beings. When men began to cultivate their own land, it became a seed of trouble. Until everybody equally distributed food, no one ruled another person with arms.
