The Digital Divide
Captions available
The idea
The digital divide is the uneven access to computing and connectivity across geography, income, race, and other lines — and access increasingly gates education, employment, and mobility.
In practice
Two schools in one district can hold working laptops and broadband, or neither.
Where people slip
The divide also runs through pricing, not infrastructure alone.
