Are people who choose to avoid technology at disadvantage compared to people who use technology often?

These days, technology is getting more and more important. Moreover, people who can’t use technology remain in the current era, so I think all people need to learn how to use several kinds of technology. I also think people who choose to avoid technology at a disadvantage mustn’t be compared to people who use technology. I say so for two reasons which are respecting their individualities and thinking objectively.

First, people who often use technology need to respect their individualities of people who choose to avoid technology at a disadvantage. If they experienced bad things such as political powers, they would also choose to avoid technology. I think when people compare with others, they justify themselves and complain about different points from themselves. I also think it is important not to compare but to understand each other. If they think about their background correctly, they can’t compare simply.

Second, people who often use technology need to think objectively. For example, in China, people can’t use Twitter and Google because the government of China controls a lot of information. Also in other countries, even if people can use any technology, they mustn’t use it because of political power. If you use any technology, you may be arrested. Therefore, a strong relationship exists between technology and political power. I’d like to ask people who compared to them and people who choose to avoid technology at a disadvantage, “Do you think about some political systems?”

Surely, using technology is very important and if people can’t use technology, it is difficult to live comfortably. However, some people who can’t use technology due to a disadvantage think it’s useful, so I think people should change the way of thought of comparison into finding some ways people all over the world can use technology such as making easy manuals or construct ICT and they must spread how to use it.

Therefore, I think people who choose to avoid technology at a disadvantage mustn’t be compared to people who use technology often.
