According to the text, the digital divide is due to:Industry Canada
The Digital Divide (adapted text)The term « digital divide » refers to the inequality of internet access among the population.

This may be due to the unfamiliar nature of information technology to seniors, the general format used or low income.

Question 16 of 60
16. Question
According to the text, the advantages of telework include:Transport Canada
Benefits and Challenges of Telework (modified text)Telework involves working away from the office using telecommunications and computer technology. The advantages for employees include a better work/life balance and greater productivity as well as time savings in terms of avoiding the daily commute. Moreover, it provides better employment opportunities for the disabled as well as those living in remote areas. The challenges of telework include reduced face-to-face interaction with colleagues and less recognition for work well done. Also, an overlap of work and personal life may occur which often reduces physical activity. For these reasons, teleworking is suited to motivated, self-disciplined employees able to work independently in a non-traditional work environment.

Question 27 of 60

According to the text, Boomers:ESDC.gc (E-scan excerpt)Employment growth in the first nine months of 2013 was strongest for older workers aged 55 years and older. This is due to a higher growth rate for seniors as large numbers of Baby Boomers are transitioning into the older workers segment every year. Over the past decade, the employment rates for older workers have risen, with females trending higher, narrowing the gap with male employment rates. There has been a noticeable increase in workforce participation by females aged 60-64 years. These trends coincide with the median age of retirement. This has increased significantly from 61.3 years in 2009 to 64.1 years in 2012. Older workers delay retirement potentially because of better health conditions and longer life spans; the nature of jobs today; the need to improve their economic situation, including debt; and, the need for employers to retain experienced workers.

According to the text:Library and Archives Canada
Excerpt from «Mythbusters» (modified text)« Everything before modernization is out of date».
Since modernization ushers in the digital age, the assumption is that modernization is exclusively digital.
True, modernization will involve adapting to the times ( which are increasingly digital), but «digital first» does not mean «digital only». And the digitalization of an item does not necessarily mean destroying the original. LAC is a leader in the field of analogue preservation: the new nitrate film preservation facility is an example. The digital world, however, gives LAC the opportunity to exceed the limits of analogue, providing more open access to material and establishing a standard of excellence in the digital realm.

Excerpt from «Mythbusters» (modified text)« Everything before modernization is out of date».
Since modernization ushers in the digital age, the assumption is that modernization is exclusively digital.
True, modernization will involve adapting to the times ( which are increasingly digital), but «digital first» does not mean «digital only». And the digitalization of an item does not necessarily mean destroying the original. LAC is a leader in the field of analogue preservation: the new nitrate film preservation facility is an example. The digital world, however, gives LAC the opportunity to exceed the limits of analogue, providing more open access to material and establishing a standard of excellence in the digital realm.

According to the text, telework:Transport Canada
Benefits and Challenges of Telework (modified text)Telework involves working away from the office using telecommunications and computer technology. The advantages for employees include a better work/life balance and greater productivity as well as time savings in terms of avoiding the daily commute. Moreover, it provides better employment opportunities for the disabled as well as those living in remote areas. The challenges of telework include reduced face-to-face interaction with colleagues and less recognition for work well done. Also, an overlap of work and personal life may occur which often reduces physical activity. For these reasons, teleworking is suited to motivated, self-disciplined employees able to work independently in a non-traditional work environment.
