Digital Divide

Commentator Dinesh D'Souza disagrees with those who argue that the internet is a racist concept. While it is true that not everyone uses the internet equally, he says this is not a problem of access but one of knowledge. He says the real digital divide is in appreciating the value of knowledge, how to obtain it and what to do with it. He recommends teaching young people how information and technology can be a source of improving oneself.
