Digital Divide Among Kids Is Shrinking
Digital Divide Among Kids Is Shrinking
09/17/2004 11:55 AMFor all the talk about the "digital divide" and how poorer kids
weren't getting access to the internet that would be important to
their ability to get jobs in the future, it looks like much of the
problem is going away.
Nearly all children in the US
now have some form of internet access, though, there still are
differences in how they access it. It shouldn't be much of a surprise
to find out that wealthier families are more likely to have internet
access at home for their kids. Either way, this is clearly a positive
step.

12/04/2003 02:25 PMIt seems that every other week a report comes out saying that the
digital divide
is a problem, followed the next week by a study
saying that the digital divide isn't a problem or is going away. This
must be the second week. The UN has put out a report saying that the
digital divide among nations is
decreasing much faster than anyone anticipated. While there are
still gaps, the study found that, even in many very poor nations,
people did have access to things like a telephone, if they needed to
use it. Still, that doesn't mean the people are actually using the
technology, but it does suggest that the problem isn't one of getting
infrastructure built.

China Gets Wired... But Digital Divide
Exists
07/21/2004 02:54 AMThe internet is growing in China, as they
now have 87
million people online, though they are apparently connecting
through just 36.3 million internet connected computers. The number of
Chinese netizens puts them firmly in second place, though just about
everyone expects them to take first place before long. That 87
million represents just 6.6% of the population, which may point to a
bigger issue. While the US worries about the "digital divide," it
looks like a much bigger issue in China. Internet usage is much more
common in more developed areas, and many seem worried that less
developed areas will get left even further behind. While the Chinese
government has tried to go online, the study found that most such
sites are unused, and many government officials prefer not to use
their own websites. None of this is particularly surprising, but it's
still interesting to see the data.

Across the great divide
Across the great divide
09/04/2004 09:18 PM

I first pointed to this stunning
Valdis Krebs infographic
back in March
2004, when the New York Times published it. Krebs has long been
fascinated with the clusters that emerge from an analysis of Amazon's
related-purchase data. I was reminded of his chart the other day when
I heard
this
exchange (Real, 1 min, 40 sec) between Terri Gross and Norman
Podhoretz, which includes this quote:
I have almost no friends any longer who are liberal, and I suspect
this is true of most people on both sides of the divide. Since the
sixties, the polarization has become more intense, and there are fewer
and fewer friendships that can be sustained across the divide in this
country.
What religious differences used to be, and aren't any more (in our
world, not the Muslim world), political differences have become.
They've acquired a kind of religious intensity, and are tinged with a
kind of intolerance that used to characterize religious differences.
[Norman
Podhoretz, inteviewed by Terri Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, Real, 20
min.)
Having lived on both sides of the chasm -- he was a radical liberal
before he became a founder of neoconservativism -- Podhoretz seems to
have a rare appreciation of the great divide. I suspect the majority
of us, not having lived on both sides, lack that same gut-level
appreciation.

On the Great Atlantic Divide
On the Great Atlantic Divide
01/05/2005 02:01 PM
On
the Great Atlantic Divide Published on Sunday, October 26, 2003 by
TomDispatch.com. By Susan Sontag.
I came across this piece at
dailyKos
"Two weeks ago during the Frankfurt Book Fair, the Association of
German Publishers and Booksellers awarded the Friedenspreis des
Deutschen Buchhandels (the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade) to
Susan Sontag. She was cited for standing up for "the dignity of
free thinking" and for her role as an "intellectual
ambassador" between the United States and Europe. The
association's director Dieter Schormann commented, "In a world of
false images and distorted truths, she defends the honor of free
thought." In its over half-century of existence, the
Friedenspreis Prize has been awarded to Chinua Achebe, Max Frisch,
Jurgen Habermas, Yehudi Menuhin, and Vaclav Havel among many others.
An excerpt from Susan Sontag's acceptance speech was published today
in the Los Angeles Times Book Review section, but I thought the whole
speech, which focuses on the increasingly embattled relationship
between Europe and the United States, or rather between much of
Europe, especially the various peoples of Europe, and the Bush
administration, was well worth reproducing as a whole. Near its end is
a rare moment in which Sontag considers an aspect of her early life in
public. Her most recent book, by the way, is Regarding the Pain of
Others. What follows then, with her kind permission, is her full
acceptance speech. (The title and subheads are, however, mine.) Tom

Research Buddy - Saves References To WebPages in
Bibliographical Reference Form
http://researchbuddy.mozdev.or
g/
Research Buddy saves references to webpages in a
bibliographical reference form. The extension is designed to be used
in the following way: 1) The user finds a quote on a webpage and wants
to reference the quote in his/her paper, 2) The user selects the text
of this quote, and, in the right-click menu, selects "Research Buddy"
(this step is optional: the page can be referenced without selected
text), 3) The plugin opens the main Research Buddy dialog, which
allows the user to select which research topic the page should be
filed under, and 4) The user clicks on "Add to selected topic", and
the reference is saved to the topic. Depending on the preferences, the
page (and it's images) may be saved to the user's disk. Users can also
add new topics, delete old topics, rename topics, and view the
bibliography for a topic. The Research Buddy preferences allow the
user to configure the behavior of the plugin. Preferences are stored
in a file, so they persist between web sessions: a) Bibliography
format string (defaults to a generic reference string, b) Root
directory to store pages in (set to the mozilla profile directory by
default), c) Save the html of the referenced page (this is useful for
ensuring access to the content regardless of the availability of the
website. on by default, d) Save the images on the referenced page
(useful for pages where content is at least partially contained in
images. off by default to save disk space), e) Many bibliography
strings will require an "Author" field. Due to the difficulty of
accurately finding the author of a given webpage, they decided that
this task be left up to the user, and f) The citations are stored in
xml format, and an html file is only generated when the user clicks on
"View Topic". This has been added to the tool section of
Research Resources
