Abstract:
The forthcoming book, 'Beyond the Digital Divide' (Georgetown University Press), redefines the issue of the digital divide in broader terms. The authors argue that the problem has been too narrowly conceived in public debate, research, and programs as primarily an issue of access. In reality, there are multiple information technology divides an access divide, a skill divide, an economic opportunity divide, and a democratic divide. Access without skill is insufficient.
