| Title: | Does the Digital Divide Still Exist? Bush Administration Shrugs, But Evidence Says "Yes" (ID: CSD1804) | | Author(s): | Dr. Mark N. Cooper | | Topics: | Digital Divide, Policy and Law: Federal | | Source: | Consumer Federation of America | | Origin: | Community Contributions (2002) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | This study claims the the Bush administration should protect federal programs that promote internet access in homes and should do more to close the gap between technology haves and have-nots. The study states that the administration is misinterpreting a government study on the topic of the digital divide by looking at internet access at work and in schools rather than concentrating on homes, where most families use the internet and the gap is greatest.
