Which statement reflects a negative effect of technology on performers due to unequal access?

• A. Not everyone has the same access to tech - expensive
• B. Tech can become quickly outdated
• C. Tech can stop/break the flow of the game
• D. Tech is ever developing + increasing in price

Answer: (A)

Unequal access to technology creates a barrier that can hold back performers. When tech is expensive, not everyone can afford the same devices, software, or access to digital coaching tools. That means some performers get more time to train, more detailed feedback, and better chances to analyze and improve, while others miss out. The result is an unlevel playing field where performance opportunities and progress are tied to budget rather than ability. This captures the negative impact of unequal access most directly. Other points describe general drawbacks of technology, like it becoming outdated or breaking, but they don’t specifically address how access differences disadvantage some performers.
