Understandable...

I understand Rhonda Locklear's concern for her son's lack of advantages through internet use but I think that the idea of the Digital Divide goes deeper than just people who are lacking internet use. The schooling system has attached computers, which coincide with the use of internet for schooling, so dependently as a learning tool that it will not be surprising to find in the future everything from books to teacher's lessons solely learned through the internet. The idea of a classroom is starting to fall apart. Yes. There needs to be efficient internet access for people like Rhonda's son who depend on the internet to do homework. BUT, there needs to be a reevaluation of this Digital world that is taking over the nature of learning.
