One point in time we used to tape the lectures so that we can listen it over 
and over again. It is especially true for foreign students such as myself 
studying in the US. 
 
BUT .. the departure here is ... WE took the responsibility to tape the 
lectures ourselves. WE attended the lectures, we asked permission to tape the 
lectures.
 
My initial command is: students should take the responsibility of 'lectures' 
instead of being "pampered". Again this is my personal opinion because I take 
strongly that students should at least understand the minimum requirement of 
respect FOR their lecturer ... attend the lectures and show your keeness. 
 
Over the years, I see so much attention pay to technology, but we forget about 
how to raise responsible citizens. We forget about the social aspects of many 
things. Therefore even if we have the greatest digital bridging initiatives, 
would that stand the chance being topedo because there is no social and human 
decency to support it? 
 
Digital Divide is a social problem . NOT a technology problem. 
 
Cindy
