Blaming the Poor as Framing a New Digital Divide

Blaming the Poor as Framing a New Digital Divide | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"It's remarkable that in 2012 you can wake up in the morning and see a front page article in the New York Times depicting young men of color as "freaks" who "throw tantrums" and "do the first negative thing he can find" with computers. #notapostracialsocietyyet"

Reich provides a critical analysis of the article that appeared in the New York Times, raising questions and concerns. He also provides a link to an alternative source that he believes is "a much more balanced, nuanced portrayal of the issue" by Craig Watkins, 'Digital Divide: Navigating the Digital Edge.'
