| 520 | 1 | |a "The Digital Divide: Standing at the Intersection of Race and Technology focuses on the racial "digital divide" and highlights some compelling historical reasons why minority communities might legitimately fear technological advancements and are therefore unlikely to immediately embrace computer technology, even if it is made available on a widespread basis. The book also explores how the legacy of slavery, which promoted the social, economic and educational separation of the races, is a major contributing factor to the current technology gap. On a positive note, the book concludes that this divide is not a hopeless condition and offers several examples of community and corporate efforts aimed at narrowing the divide." "The Digital Divide clearly demonstrates that the technology gap is not a myth and is not without consequences. Each day, massive amounts of information are exchanged, deals are made, jobs are offered and secured, and products change hands, all with the click of a mouse. Those who do not have access to the relevant technology are relegated to an information deprived "virtual underclass." Over time, the ripple effect of being outside of the global technology infrastructure may have a lasting impact on individual personal and professional development, theraby continuing or even exacerbating the traditional societal, racial and economic schisms."--BOOK JACKET. | |
