Digital Divide

Dedicated to understanding the concerns of those with lower incomes and the mediated environment in which they live, this part of the New Media @ Home project focuses on families, considering how they envision the relationship between new media technologies and success or empowerment. It also explores what happens when people from underprivileged backgrounds encounter beliefs, worldviews, experiences, or perspectives on the Internet that differ from their own.
