The Digital Divide
I never really thought about a thing such as a digital divide. According to lecture the digital divide is "a gap between the haves and have nots in terms of access to and use of computers and information resources." So basically there are some people that are more likely to use and have access to computers and other resources. It makes sense that college students are the ones that have the most access to computers. Everything that we do revolves around the use of computers in information. We even have classes that are completely online. I also found it interesting that as the cost of computers decrease that African Amercians are buying them faster than White Americans. Not surprising to me is that older people are less likely to use these resources than younger people. Also not surprising is that more educated people have more access and use these resources more than less educated people.
