| 520 | |a Despite improvements to those affected by the digital age, there are still many people who remain "unconnected" in today's world. This volume examines the problems of addressing the digital divide by closely examining those who remain unconnected- the untouchables or untouched within the information society. Some remain untouched because of access or ability issues that reflect race, disability, class, geography, and socio-economic status, but others may be prevented from participation by factors of religion, language, philosophy, culture, or simply disinterest. With noted experts from many areas, this book collectively examines the social, economic, and political contexts of the failure to reach the unconnected and the importance of including them in a dynamic, engaged civic democracy. -- Publisher description | ||
