The internet has rewritten everything. In the old days, young students learned through books and classes led by living teachers. Now, websites can teach credibly and effectively, students can join seminars distant in time and space, and an entire generation has grown up with no experience of life before the web. Surely, a time of rapid riches has arrived.
But not for everyone. Nicol Turner Lee takes us on a tour of those parts of America still struggling to connect with the internet, places where the infrastructure and politics will falter before the challenge of bringing high-speed access to human users.
Nicol Turner Lee is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution and the founder of the AI Equity Lab. No doubt she knows what she�s talking about. As her book tells, she began as a volunteer computer assistant in a housing project, moved up through volunteer and paid positions and eventually helped establish more than 500 public access computers around Chicago where she lived before moving to Washington.
She knows intimately the problems associated with connecting lesser advantaged people to the information superhighway. Likening the modern build-out of high-speed internet infrastructure to FDRââ?¬â?¢s Rural Electrification project of the 1930s, ââ?¬Å"Digitally Invisibleââ?¬Â?by Nicole Turner Lee is a field guide to the places untouched by the modern enlightenment, the authorââ?¬â?¢s effort to understand it all, and her suggestions for progress.
The book dwells long on the economic disparities between higher and lower socioeconomic groups. Ms. Lee amply demonstrates how these gaps exacerbate our nation�s ramp-up to technological flourishing. The digital divide, she says, is a particularly troublesome hitch, as more and more of life�s business goes online. This deficit of online access leads to greater deficits elsewhere.
Homework, for example. Without online access, students often can�t do homework, and fail to develop their skills, and thus fall further behind in the great march toward prosperity. And because the digital divide requires money to fix, also a certain amount of political motivation, it seems to pose a special problem demanding national attention.
For all this, though, Ms. Lee is cautiously optimistic. We may well close the digital divide, she says, but it will not change ââ?¬Å"the trajectory of wealth and equity among the invisible.ââ?¬Â? Her book is a careful exploration of the digital divide in all its annoyance and nuance. It deserves to be read.
