Rich and poor teenagers use the web differently – here's what this is doing to inequality | Internet and websites | Scoop.it
Poorer teenagers spend roughly the same time online as their wealthier classmates. But they're using this time differently, and it's counting against them.
Carol Hancox's insight:
Digital Divide and Internet use.  It is no longer access that is causing the divide, but how it is being used.

English is strangling other languages on the Internet

English is strangling other languages on the Internet | Internet and websites | Scoop.it
Even if global Internet access were a reality, that wouldn’t be enough to ensure accessibility for all.

Via Nik Peachey
JoAnn Salvisberg-Smith's curator insight, December 15, 2015 1:47 AM

Interesting point about the integration of other languages and cultures into the global dialog (or is it the lack thereof?).

Web 2.0 for ELT's curator insight, December 15, 2015 11:41 PM

This should be a warning to be taken rather seriously: 

"The lack of language diversity on the web, according to some activists, is aiding in making lesser known languages obsolete.

These languages, markers of culture and identity, are a way to construct a collective sense of belonging, providing a direct connection to history. When languages die, a part of culture dies — and preservation of culture is an important global goal."

Willem Kuypers's curator insight, January 6, 2016 3:19 AM
