It's such an important question.
I think during the 1990s, the talk about the digital divide, which had come out very early, quieted down. People went down another path--namely, it's democratizing, it's an equalizer, anyone can get access to this huge library, you don't have to be in a big city.
That has started to change now. In the last 10 years, the debate has gone much more down the direction of how those who have the skills, the literacy, the access, and so on are really just starting to separate from those who do not. The digital divide talk is back. Now it's suggesting that it's perhaps far worse, even, which poses some really interesting questions in terms of social cohesion, cultural cohesion, and so on.
My sense is that we have to start paying a lot more attention to this. The fear is that is the dream of the democratizing, equalizing notion of access to information and so on...that those who are able to may, in fact, be able to just run that much faster and further ahead.
So it's a big issue.
