Questions:
Could the digital divide change the way people think about themselves in relation to the rest of the world? Provide experiences, observations, or references to Week 6’s readings that helped shaped your opinion.
What barriers exist that make it difficult to close the digital divide in economies like India and China? What barriers exist in a developed country such as America?
