a nation divided...

The digital divide is real, and ever-widening, according to a report issued by the Kaiser Family Foundation -- it also appears that poor children are the ones most affected:
"According to the most recent major government datasets, based on information collected in 2001, 4 in10 children have never used the Internet, and lower income
and minority youth are far less likely than other children to have gone online. While 75% of children from families earning over $75,000 a year have gone online, less than half (49%) of those from families earning $20-35,000 and only 37% of those earning under $20,000 a year have gone online. Similarly, while two-thirds (67%) of white children have gone online,
just 45% of African American and 37% of Hispanic youth have done so."
A disturbing trend...
