     Twitter is a new tool for me. I have always just used Facebook for my social media efforts. Even when Twitter first came out and everyone was excited about the new social media platform I still forwent using such a media tool. I was always cautious about my words being displayed for others. However, since my tenure in the EME class I have enjoyed the uses of Twitter, and understand the allure of staying connected with different media groups: such as FSU. I will continue to use it.
     The digital divide in America is staggering. Many students do not have access to computer like many at FSU are generously presented with. Many homes in America do not even have a computer in the home. With the high prices of computers many students and people in American are adopting the uses of tablets and lesser technology devices rather than pay the high prices of computers. While the technological divide is lessening it is still important that we understand not everyone is able to use and facilitate the advantageous computers bring in the edification process.
     Two types of technological software programs that would do the student body well would be" Grammarly, and Citation machine. Grammarly is a spelling, word formatting, and speech program designed to aid students in their essays and other articles writings. It cut downs the imperfection in student writings and would be a great boon to the students as most any edification center. Citation machine is a program designed to help student cite their sources properly. It cuts down on the inability to cite correctly, and aids in the fight to combat plagiarism. It is a very important program that should be available to every student.
