Now internet has become a source inseparable from our daily lives. Probably only five years ago, I would be talking about more what’s on TV shows or what was on the Newspaper, but now people around, including me, get more information through Social Network Services (SNS), such as Facebook. It’s interesting how SNS became a main source for people to interact. It’s sometime even hard to have a conversation with my friends when I don’t check Facebook just for one day. The update speed of these SNS websites is so fast that every second new information is posted.

It’s easy to know what other people are doing and what happened around the world just by checking Facebook. Moreover, now people have apps (application programs) on their Smartphones (such as I phone or Galaxy), what people always have in their hands. These apps makes it easier to get for us to connect to the cyber world full of information. These SNSs and the internet in general has an ideal purpose to bond people around the world or in a community, but there is a default that people don’t notice. There is a gap in the internet, including SNSs. This gap separates people who don't have access to the internet, including colored ethnicity and disabled people, from the ordinary users.
