Certainly, the digital divide is a problem. Negroponte of MIT is doing a lot to address the situation with his low income global computers. Please think about that.

Rob
I think Stephen is right to see this as a class issue.
Access to computers is more limited in poorer homes – obviously. I think I read a very low figure for computer ownership in Salford for example.
However it also destroys the myth that the internet will kill the profits of newspaper companies.
In fact it gives them an opportunity to sell ads targetted at a more affluent and younger audience. A deomographers wet dream.
But do the bosses has the imagination to exploit it?

Stephen,

interesting

What does it say about readers habits? The nature of online publishing and PR?

I would be interested in any theories or views as I unfortunately do not have the answer
