This is a huge change that has happened over the years because it used to be a divide between those who have technology and those that don’t.]]> 2020-10-20 16:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/llandbnl/wrq8wzwizbx0dvao/wish/845735576 Digital Divide elackey11 https://padlet.com/llandbnl/wrq8wzwizbx0dvao/wish/845755405 Research has shown that access to computers and the internet is not enough. Some people lack computer literacy and, without continuous education on it, there will continue to be a divide. People are also mostly digitally divided because of their racial and socioeconomic differences. People with disabilities we're also once limited on what technology they could use, but recent years have shown great progress in accessable and adaptive technology. Future solutions to lessen this divide can include low cost internet service as well as broadband services and the creation of mobile labs. ]]> 2020-10-20 16:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/llandbnl/wrq8wzwizbx0dvao/wish/845755405 Findings Summary: llandbnl https://padlet.com/llandbnl/wrq8wzwizbx0dvao/wish/845769192 Though positive outcomes were noted as above, the study concluded that there was not a direct correlation to having computer access and the widening Digital Divide (Meyer, 07/10/2013).
