In the article “Is the Internet Colorblind?” Courtney D. Marshall explores whether the idea of cyberspace utopia exists. As users of the Internet, we believe that we are free from our bodily limitations and therefore gender, identities, race and sexuality are not a concern; we take refuge online. Marshall explains that this desire to escape stereotypes in cyberspace does not make these categories less real, but rather the desire to escape them suggests they have a powerful role in our society. Rather than labeling these mentioned categories as problems we should use the innovation of the Internet to strengthen and enrich our culture. Technology changes our lives and social interactions so we should make sure the changes are for the better. We should use the Internet as a forum to address ongoing issues in our society to ensure equal rights for all.
