"So there's more than just playing," he said. "I wish it meant only hits, runs, and errors – only the things they put in the box

score. Because you know – yes, you would know, Robinson, that a baseball box score is a democratic thing. It doesn't tell how big you are, what church you attend, what color you are, or how your father voted in the last election. It just tells what kind of baseball player you were on that particular day." I interrupted. "But it's the box score that really counts – that and that alone, isn't it?" "It's all that ought to count," he replied. "But it isn't. Maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. That is one of the reasons I've got you here, Robinson. If you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. But let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." —I Never Had It Made, Jackie Robinson, as told to Alfred Duckett

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We see that the question is missing. Although it is an incomplete question, we can say that what this question is asking is to explain Jackie Robinson's purpose when he wrote the above-mention passage. Jackie Robinson wrote those lines to inform his readers about the meeting he had with baseball executive Branch Ricky, at that time an executive of the Brooklin Dodgers. It was Ricky who gave the opportunity to play Major League Baseball to Robinson. Ricky was a white man but was not racist. As the passage explains, he only was interested in player's productivity to help win baseball games, or as Robinson wrote, "it's the box-score what really counts."

Tech determinism is a theory that states that a societies social structures and cultural values are completely determined by it's technology and technological advancements. Digital Divide refers to the gap between the individuals who have immediate access to a computer and other technology and those who do not have access to a computer.
