Have you lived in two or more very different parts of the country?
rural Northern Illinois and rural Colorado
Have you moved from one side of town to another?
Only in a small town.
If yes, what socioeconomic differences have you noticed along the way?
My income stayed the same, the socioeconomics around me didn't vary much.
Are there specific differences you have noticed from one community to another?
Crazy assed liberals here, crazy assed conservatives there
Do you feel that you are dissimilar from those living in the next town or neighborhood?
I'm a bit odd, regardless of where I live. I like living in the mountains, any town in 15-20mi would work for me. Boulder is a bit odd by anyone's definition.
What other divisions have you seen?
I see differences, not divisions.
Do you think technology is deepening these differences, or smoothing them?
Neither and both, technology is just a tool.
Technology allows me and others to do a job that used to be restricted to an urban environment from a rural home. To some extent, I'm averaging out the employment options.
How much change do you expect to see in regards to these inequalities within your lifetime?
I'm not sure I agree with the premise. For the most part, the differences that I see are voluntary.
