After presenting in class the other day I got to thinking about how we take the Internet for granted. Attending Catholic University and being in DC is definitely a privilege. If we have an assignment due, there isn't a problem for students at our university in terms of Internet availability. I can't even think of anyone without their own personal laptop.
Internetforeveryone.org really opened my eyes to the amount of Americans that are without personal Internet access. I was more aware that there were more people outside of the US that were without Internet but I wasn't aware of the amount of people within our own country that lived without it.
For such a big issue I felt that there was not as much out there being done to help those without Internet capabilities. Websites such as Internetforeveryone.org and Broadbandforamerica.com give people the information they may need to be fully educated about the lack of Internet for Americans.
Youtube.com has provided videos from other sites like Internetforeveryone.org to help inform people about the issue of the Digital Divide.
