The Digital Divide and the Color Line

I just watched this great video about the “Digital Divide” by the Internet for Everyone campaign (hat tip to RaceWire for sharing this).

While I’m a big fan of social media (like this blog) and its potential for social change, I think we often forget that not everyone is at the cyber-table. I’ve been thinking a lot about collaborative offline content development (i.e. video) where everyone can participate. But free internet access would definitely make these online “social tools” much more effective and amplify its use for social good.

You can join the Internet for Everyone campaign and get involved!
