Demystifying the digital divide
Mark Warschauer. Scientific American. New York: Aug 2003. Vol. 289, Iss. 2; pg. 42

Abstract (Summary)

For much of the past decade, policy leaders and social scientists have grown increasingly concerned about a societal split between those with and those without access to computer and the Internet. The US National Telecommunications and Information Administration popularized a term for this situation in the mid 1990s: the "digital divide." The phrase soon became used in an international context as well, to describe the status of information technology from country to country.
