More on the Digital Divide

Hi folks!

I know we've already finished up our discussion on the digital divide, but I came across this article at Good and thought I would share it: "Is the Digital Divide Such a Bad Thing?"

The article references a study by Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy which finds that increased online access may decrease test scores. This brings into question what impact shrinking the digital divide may have on "divides" in other aspects of society.

So, check out the article and let me know what you think!

PS: Good is a website/magazine that tries to tackle issues facing society, including issues in digital technologies.
