Recently my professor sent me a link to an article about links between technological literacy and poverty, which I am going to strongly incorporate into my final essay. This essay by Cynthia Selfe is the perfect connection that I need, as it allows me to better find my own niche for my argument, something we are striving to do with these essays<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-101 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/niche-networks-amb-image-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"niche-networks-amb-image\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/niche-networks-amb-image-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/niche-networks-amb-image-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/niche-networks-amb-image-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/niche-networks-amb-image-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/06\/niche-networks-amb-image.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>. I found my niche to be how the internet is vital to being successful in school, so therefore any group of people unable to access the internet, such as a group with large amounts of poverty, are not going to be able to be successful academically which then sets them back as they attempt to enter into the modern workforce.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This trend draws itself very strongly upon racial lines, which makes this an issue beyond just poverty, which would be bad in of itself, but because of this revelation it becomes a part of a much larger problem of institutionalized racism, something that needs to be actively combated to get rid of.
