ALT-C 2008: Rethinking the Digital Divide

09 September 2008Leeds, UK

The digital divide tends to be seen as a problem of access whose 'solution' will bring a myriad of benefits. The reality may be quite different: technology, once supplied, may fall into disuse; connectivity may be in short supply, or too costly; lack of uptake may be a conscious and rational decision. The digital divide is multidimensional, rather than being mainly or only about access, and this conference offers the opportunity to explore this issue.
