Literary Analysis

What drew me to this book was that I had watched the movie and it was really good so I thought the book would be better to read. Reading this book I was expecting the book to have a lot more facts then the movie did. What kept me ready past the first ten pages was the difference from the movie. My reading habits, I don't read often because I get distracted easily and literally anything will get me to look up.

The Digital Divide

Technology can help me in some ways, but can also distract me in other ways. I don't think technology is holding me back to achieve my goals, but it's not helping me all that much either. My data is not private at all, so that means it's not protected either. I don't even know there was such thing. I'm not really sure how people can see me online, I don't have a Facebook or Instagram, but I do have a Snapchat so I guess that's how.
