Rhonda Locklear's Digital Divide Concern

I feel that what she is saying it absolutely true that the internet has become an entity of practically everyone's daily lives (especially for students). Students are at a disadvantage if they cannot conduct research, do homework assignments, and projects if they have poor internet providers, or just dial-up in general. And since there are people, like Rhonda Locklear, who cannot provide a good internet source to their families, there should be some kind of assistance to these families, so that their children are not caught within the digital divide. And also so they can use this powerful tool to help them in completing assignments and projects for school. The internet has and will continue to become more of a necessity as the years progress. Also those that do have access to good internet sources will be at a higher advantage, especially in the schooling system, than those who are not.
