Digital Divide is not about access

New York Times: Wasting Time Is New Divide in Digital Era.

A study published in 2010 by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that children and teenagers whose parents do not have a college degree spent 90 minutes more per day exposed to media than children from higher socioeconomic families. In 1999, the difference was just 16 minutes.

Yep. Access is not the problem. Culture is the problem.
