Positive A course about concepts that will give you tags to add to things you already know but will now be able to categorize and organize. The only truth is that there is no absolute truth. We don’t see the world how it is, but rather how we are. A different way to see things. We are the product of our history.

Findings: Abilities and performance relating to Internet use differs among subcultures not only because of the digital divide but also because of cultural differences. Subcultures tend to converge over time when placed in the same context.
