Digital Divide Article

I remember someone mentioned the digital divide the first day in class as reason they were interested in Educational Technology. Here is article on new study about the digital divide. One thing I found interesting:
Overall, 91 percent of students in nursery school through 12th grade use computers; 59 percent use the Internet.

It surprises me that 32% of students are using computers but not the internet. This just makes me think projects like the call to provide free wireless for San Francisco are great . By the way there has been talk of citywide wireless in G'ville.

Hi, Tedbow:

I found the news of citywide wireless in G'ville is very exciting, hopefully it won't take too long to realize it. G'ville can really be called a digital city then. We all can benifit from it, at least financially.
