BGLOs' what field or profession are you in? If you are in the IT or any komputer related field, what is you out take on the digital divided? Do you think it is a problem with African-American not knowing much about komputers & not jumping into this new era of komputer age? Getting a certified in MCSE,CCNA,Oracle DBA,Linux etc.... Will really help a person's salary, however alot of us fell to get these cert. which is an easy way to boost one's salary by $10k-$20k per year......GLOs' feel free to reply....................

Seems you have a habit of it.  Maybe you need to switch the "a" & "o" on your keyboard.
The person who wrote "komputer" is from 2001 with 28 posts, I doubt he's around to care. But you're right, that is the first thing I noticed when I started reading this thread.

As far as any progress made...
I have mixed feelings about the idea of the digital divide. I work at a library during the summer months and many patrons need help with programs and information on computers. It's not that these people don't have computers at home most times, they lack the internet, which has been one of the most growing agents of technology and communication.
I just think it's funny that many people are concerned more about the fact of entertainment's purpose in technology rather than the types of technology that is needed and tends to be more important. But everyone's priorities are different, so what can I say?
But the progress is definite and still spreading.

THANK YOU MM for responding to the question.
I believe the difference between the haves and the have nots in our nation's digital divide is closing. People might not have PCs in their homes but they have sidekicks, blackberries, play video games online, and navigation systems in their cars. More schools, community centers and public libraries have PCs and internet access.
I think the gap now is widening between young people who are being raised with computers in every day life, and elderly or others who may have never been exposed to using a computer. These people need our attention, and are on the other side of the digital divide. LOL my dad falls into this category - he needed a "formal introduction" to the internet, so he took a class at the local community college.
Have chapters or organizations on an (inter)National level made any strides to close the gap in this sense?
