As cultures change so does the technology they develop. With developments in manufacturing, communications and engineering, cultures have been re-shaped around the world by freeing people from small family farms by choice or by force, dispersing information and changing the landscape.

When educators think about diversity in the classroom, culture may be one of the characteristics that crosses their mind.
How does culture impact our ability to learn?
There is a connection between the poverty level a student grows up in, the educational achievement of the students’ parents, and language.
More important, there is also a feedback gap because most of these kids’ interactions with adults have been negative. The students arrive in kindergarten not understanding the role of the teacher or how to develop a positive relationship with him or her.\
THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN CULTURE
Technology is changing every aspect of our lives. The benefits provided by new digital approaches are having a huge impact on our societies.
Cultural divide
The cultural divide is also dictated by the different technological possibilities available and what users are allowed to use. In Europe, for example the internet is used for connecting business and the Internet of Things is making rapid inroads into a number of industries already. In areas of my region - in both Africa and Russia - there simply isn’t the connectivity speeds, or in some cases connection capability, to make this happen. So we have to be more innovative, whilst meeting the needs of the user.
