"Digital Divide" a TV series available from PBS
http://www.pbs.org/digitaldivide/about.html#series maybe of interest...

Here is a description from the site:

" DIGITAL DIVIDE is a two-part series for PBS that explores how the rapid
spread of computer technology is affecting young people across the
country. Narrated by Queen Latifah, the series asks the question: is
everyone participating equally, if at all, in the Digital Revolution? And
are "wired" kids being taught how to use computers in ways that enhance
instead of replace traditional learning skills? Through interviews with
innovators around the country who are bridging the digital divide in the
classroom and in the streets, the series explores some of the best
practices for using technology effectively at school and in the home.

The series focuses on the many aspects of the digital divide, exploring
how the issues plays out in terms of education, employment, race, and
gender. "

Best,
Triveni
