The Digital Divide!

As the use of computers and internet access has expanded in the United states and around the world, the divide between who has access and who doesn't has shrunken exponentially. However, as the introduction of new technologies and ways to access the internet expand, so does the gap of who has the types of new technology. For example, I may have a laptop that I can take with me to different places and gain internet access as long as there is a WiFi access point, but I do not own a new I-phone with which I can get on the internet anywhere! And I am sure many do not. As the advances of technology continue, I believe that there will always be a slight gap in the digital divide amongst what types are used. In the end the type of technology available for use comes down not only to the knowledge of how to use it, but the affordability. If I could afford it, i would gladly use that I-phone, but in the meantime, I am happy with my laptop.
