" A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide-- the division of the world into the info rich and the info poor. And the divide does exist todaty. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. There are reasons to be optimistc.
There are tehnological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized. ... As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we' ve ever had."
After you read the above , please tell me whether digital divide is getting worse because of the Internet or the world must guard against.
Thank you indeed!
