I visited the Space Shuttle Discovery exhibit at the Smithsonian Aerial and Space Museum. I think individuals majoring in information technology would definitely benefit from a visit to this museum because it is such an eye-opener. It shows the history of how our society has triumphed over problems. Seeing such innovations will spark curiosity and inspiration within a person to want to understand the inner workings of the spacecraft. Unfortunately, not everyone can come to DC to gaze at these creations, which is why the internet is so important. If one cannot afford to go to the museum in person, they can look it up and read about it; there are even videos on these beautiful machines. People within my major are critical to bridge the gap of the digital divide since we are the ones who create and maintain the connections to the internet. This exhibit, along with its creations and its role within history, shows me its importance, why people should know why things are created, how they are built, plus the challenges they were made to face. It’s a shame that not everyone has access to this knowledge that should be for everyone. Once again, I think individuals within the information technology field/significant help must bridge the digital divide. #DigitalDivide #ArielandSpaceMuseum
