Technology and Social Inclusion: Rethinking the Digital Divide

Technology and Social Inclusion: Rethinking the Digital Divide By Mark Warschauer
2003 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 0262232243 | PDF | 2 MB


This book is somewhat dry, but does present alot of information and data concerning the digital divide in countries all over the world. For those unfamiliar with what the digital divide is, it is the lack of "information and communication technology" in developing countries and in underprivedged sections of developed countries. Warschauer does a good job of presenting the problems and probable causes. He then presents many different types of solutions that have been attempted, their successes and failures, and why they either worked or not. He finally discusses why we should now view this problem as a digital inequality instead of a digital divide. If you are unfamiliar with this topic, I believe this would be a good breadth-type introduction.
