The article is about how the rapid spread of internet among the masses has still not got rid of the digital divide between the rich and poor and how it has not created as many jobs as thought. The report tells of how the internet is the fastest spread technology ever but is unable to create a place where there is no digital divide.
- the number of people connected to the internet has more than tripled in the past decade, from 1 billion to an estimated 3.5 billion
- By comparison, 4 billion people – or 60% of the world’s population – had no access to the internet
- use an e-commerce platform to sell goods domestically and export to 120 countries
In my opinion this shows that the internet cannot solve the worlds problems and although incredibly popular in first world countries, in developing countries a lot of people don't even know of it's existence and just because we all see it as normal over half the world doesn't have it.
Bug displays chrome users porn hours later on Apple computer
The article is about how a bug in Apple's operating system caused incognito mode on Google chrome to display pornographic content on the loading screen of a computer game being loaded by someone who had viewed it hours earlier.
- Pornography splashed across the screen when loading a game
- This issue is related to memory management in the Apple OS, not Nvidia graphics drivers
- It breaks the operating system’s user boundaries by allowing non-root users to spy on each other
In my opinion this shows that no technology is capable of not having any bugs and even one of the most prestigious technology companies in the world, Apple, had a major malfunction that caused this problem and shows that technology is never 100% reliable.
