7 Myths of the Digital Divide » Cyborgology

Thu May 16 13:01:36 +0000 2013

Annotations:

For example, in 2011, 94% of college educated Americans use the Internet but only 43% of people without a high school education are online, and 62% of people who make less than $30,000/year are online while 97% of those making over $75,000 use the Internet.
social class gaps that are most consistent over time.
In academic parlance, we like to talk about digital inequality, rather than a divide, because of a range of multiple divides.
Pew Internet Project uses the term digital differences or disparity.
In my research, I found that what is more important than broadband access is the number of gadgets one has.
While some see the blurring between production and consumption, this division is not so blurry for the poor and working class, who are much less likely to ever have “participated” in social media.
whose voices are heard in the digital public forum matters – online content is critical for journalists and policy makers.
what does remain a singular divide over time is a social class gap with almost every measure of online engagement. In other words, class matters, regardless of what the newest online activity is. From over 60 interviews with social activists, I have found that working class people who are not able to engage in digital activism see people who do as an unattainable “other.”
77% of Europeans have Internet access while just 7% of Africans do although the United States, for instance, overall ranks 14^th for broadband per capita.
As I have argued, having online access at a variety of locations (i.e. home and work) and owning a lot of gadgets allows people to control the means of digital production and have the autonomy for high levels of Internet use.
While I love technology and spend my days with digital tools at my fingertips, I’m painfully aware we often operate as if the “Digital domain” is the “Common domain.” We MUST have public policy/societal conversations that take into account the realities of the “digital shadows” otherwise we will exclude the many who are not as visible.
