http://www.davidmoldenkamp.com/DigitalDivide.html
Bridging the Digital Divide, nationally or internationally, entails more than
supplying communities with computers. Information literacy must be integrated
in the quest to bridge the Digital Divide. This means that a sustained and holistic
training approach must be used to ensure that individuals can realize the technology’s
potential. When the Digital Divide is bridged, people are able to access the information
and opportunities that the Internet offers.BUBL LINK / 5:15 Catalogue of Internet ResourcesInformation society
