Reconceptualizing the Digital Divide
by Mark Warschauer
Abstract
This paper examines the concept of a digital divide by introducing
problematic examples of community technology projects and analyzing
models of technology access. It argues that the concept provides a
poor framework for either analysis or policy, and suggests an
alternate concept of technology for social inclusion. It then draws
on the historical analogy of literacy to further critique the notion
of a divide and to examine the resources necessary to promote access
and social inclusion.
