According to J. Twist (2005), the world’s major countrys’ governments got together and made decisions about trying to close a gap of technology between rich and poor countries with little funding. First, all people should have rights of freedom to get information. On the other hand, China government says that we want safety from economic cheating, crime, terrorism and other harmful acts from other states Second, all people should have rights of freedom to say what they want to their government. Third, all people should have chance to share the information with others. Everyone not agree that information technology is not a big problem but there were no solid worldwide rules that all countries could follow.

The digital world is skyrocketing and countries are booming in technology. Information technology has taken a best place in human life. Most people are depending on this technological world, but there are some gaps and controversies in information technology between the people and their government. They state that all people should have rights of freedom to get information, rights of freedom to say what they want, and a chance to share the information with their government.

First, all people should have rights of freedom to get information, but according to J. Twist (2005), the US delegation says that the Tunisian government did not take benefits of information technology. Information is based on expressing the things to others and better communicating with each other. For example, richer people have a major source of money and people with these sources they can have a better country. A poorer people should take the chance to contact with other richer or more developed countries so they can have a chance to get more information so government could send all required information to the people. In addition, other richer or developed countries’ people should help to other less developed countries’ people so they can be a better in information technology. For example, the United States, India, and China should support other countries that are less developed. Freedom to get information can change the world.

Second, all people should have rights of freedom to say what they want. Some people are afraid to say something to their government. That means they have fear of destruction. For example, most countries have fear of other enemy countries and most of the major crime is done on the Internet, such as economic cheating, crime, terrorism and other harmful acts from other states. Some countries want some safety from the Internet, which can go against them. Moreover, governments should be careful of other countries. A powerful country can attack weak countries and in the end it will affect our economy.

Third, all people should have a chance to share the information with others. Less developed countrys’ governments should come and talk about their problems so other countries can understand and take some decision for them. For example some country doesn’t have any information about the technological world and they are unable to show us their abilities. Maybe they don’t have enough money or manpower to do so. If they express their view without fear of anyone, other people can understand their problems and try to solve them. Moreover, rich have several computers and poor don’t have computers, so they cannot use computers. They don’t even know about the technology and its benefits. For example, some big companies hire some low laborer and they pay less to them. In India there are many children laborers, who are working instead of going to school. They don’t even know about the outside world. Government should provide some benefits and take steps against these systems. Richer countries also should provide some loans to help other countries so they can at least invest in information technology and gain their knowledge.

Last, I would like to conclude that all people should a have a chance to get knowledge, without the fear they should have the chance to say something that they really want to say, and all people should have the chance to express their feelings without any fear. Information technology has more benefits, so everyone should take it positively. It will help to close a gap between people and their government.
