> "If we have racism," writes Robin Chandler, "a digital divide is its new
> colonial frontier." He suggests that IT has become an important site of
> struggle for democracy and social and economic justice. "The future of
> linking students and teachers in networked learning communities around the
> globe represents the best hope for a peaceful century," says Chandler, who
> suggests that IT is key for better jobs and better lives. He likens the
> digital divide to structural inequalities such as poverty, lack of access
> and unequal educational opportunities.
