Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
New
Zealand beach bought by crowdfunding is given to public
Do digital
technologies divide or unite people? In some cases, digital technologies divide
those who have no or limited access to them from those who do, and make their
living standards far behind to the others and career opportunities quite limited.
It is often called digital divide.
However,
digital technologies can bring people, idea and/or money together to achieve
something that can’t not be made by individuals or small groups. Think of
videos that caused huge public movements in Arabian countries or recent
protests against the police’s shooting of African Americans.
Here in
New Zealand, a crowdfunding cause successfully purchased natural beauty from a
private owner and made it a public property. How did they do it?
Enjoy reading
and learning about what crowdfunding can do by bringing people together.
