More on the Digital Divide


Hello again ..............It's amazing what can happen just over night (the things that happen with the Internet!!).........Early this morning (actually dated Jan 28/09), I found another interesting article with this title "Half of Americans Now ‘Frequent’ Internet Users as Digital Divide Narrows" .......... well not so fast!! They specifically comment in the article that "Though internet use is up overall, the poll of more than 1,000 Americans reveals that large education, income, and age gaps still exist in terms of internet usage". So yes, while more individuals are using the Internet, "the least educated, least affluent, and oldest Americans are those who least often use the internet". Look at the table on the left (might be best to go to the article, the print is quite small here).
