From Digital Disconnect to Digital Empowerment: Building a More Equitable Society through Leadership, Investment and Collaboration
Our society is in the midst of a profound technology-based communications revolution. This so-called "digital revolution" is transforming our economic, social, political and cultural life.

For those with access to technology and the skills to use it, the digital age will bring unprecedented empowerment and opportunity. Unfortunately, not everyone has such access and there is evidence that technological advances may be aggravating existing patterns of inequality between those with access to Information Age tools and the skills to use them and those without (commonly referred to as the "digital divide").
