Bridging the Digital Divide

The Digital Divide is a subject we have discussed in class, so when I was scrolling through Diva Marketing and saw Toby's blog titled, "Bridging the Digital Divide," I immediately began to read it. In this article she highlights the importance of all children to have access to the World Wide Web. There is so much to be learned on the web not only about the technology but it also provides a hands on approach to learning. It engages the youth in their learning and sparking this hunger for information when they are young is crucial. Children of all ethnicities are the future of our business and we need to equip them with the knowledge necessary to keep the world spinning towards improving technology.

In class we discussed news on a $100 laptop. Although the simplest form of the always improving technology it will help to shorten the digital divide by providing the technology to the less fortunate.
