Salams,

I've read a few articles on the digital divide but I don't 
see how it relates to ordinary people. It just seems like 
a bunch of intellectuals arguing about whether the gap 
between the developing world and the developed world 
(technology-wise) is measured by how many people access 
the internet or is it really how many people can benifit 
from what they access?

It's interesting to read about, but how can knowledge 
about that help people in third world countries? Some 
countries can't even feed their people let alone have 
internet; now they measure illiteracy in terms of computer 
illiteracy. Is that fair?

How can we relate to this?
