A few years ago the term “Digital Divide” was everywhere. I even joined the bandwagon back in 2003 with my Masters Degree thesis focused on digital divide. It seems that socially conscious researchers have moved away from talking about issues of digital divide. Is it because there is no digital divide anymore? I doubt…
A few weeks ago I met with Don Tapscott and discussed the net generation and his latest book Grown Up Digital. During that discussion I could not help but think about many in North America and globally who belong to the net generation due to age but who have not been exposed to technology because of low socio economics. It seems that an even bigger divide may be happening even though we have moved on to other socially conscious topics like greening.
