Comments by thinkglobalnow:

"Instead of focusing on the "digital divide" (i.e. the discussion of the "haves" and "have-nots" in technology), the author advocates an inclusive global perspective. In today's interconnected world, it is essential that everyone (young and old, rich and poor, etc.) can access, adapt, and create knowledge using the new technologies. The presence of computers and the Internet is less important than people's ability make use of the technologies for meaningful personal and social endeavors."
