The Digital Divide
Concern: The ìdigital divideî between those who have access to information and those who do not.
Another View: The real divide is not access to technology but rather between those who have access to educational opportunity and those who do not because of economic means, family responsibilities, or job constraints.
As access to IT appliances becomes more ubiquitous (e.g., PDAs) and IT breaks learning free from constraints of space and time, technology may actually narrow the stratification in our society by opening up access to education.
