Nuances of the digital divide debate

While I too am occasionally guilty of going a bit binary in arguments or ideas I put forth here, generally I strive to be more thoughtful and less absolute when addressing issues of interest to me.

One such interest is the entire concept of the digital divide. The problem with the way it is normally addressed is that it is presented as a have/have-not debate, with little gray area or conceptualization of reasoned thinking.

So it was with a sigh of relief that I read this interview in the Digital Divide Network. Finally, a more careful and nuanced view.
