Monday May 4 Equity and inequity in digital and information infrastructure

Information Equity 

One of the things I learned from the article Information equity that in order to live in a good society the information must be accessed and available for all people. This information must be used in a way that benefits the community as a whole. Another thing is that there are private companies that are responsible for decisions that affect opportunities to access resources.

There are two basic elements to obtain information: social capital, which is the benefit people obtain from relationships with others, and financial capital relates to the amount of money. Social capital is a personal relationship that you can take to your advantage. Additionally, information is a basis for building social capital to reach the required interaction and to provide advice and support to them in return. I think that social capital is all that happens on social networks in Egypt, where people provide advice to each other and as a result they support each other. Communication between people take place so easily that I can call my friends on social networks easily.

All information you need in your life you will find easily on the Internet. For the telecommunications network, which was implemented by the Egyptian government quickly and distinctly was not achieved without the presence of a network of information via the Internet.
