I have generated some auto-peer review comments, but more in depth human review is much needed!-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  23:54, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article should mention something about the "closing" of the digital divide (at least by certain measures) in the United States, and perhaps other developed countries. As the term was first used in the 1990s by the Clinton Administration, it referred to statistics for computer and internet access among minority groups in the country, which was quite low at the time. Because of declining costs etc., there is much less of a numerical disparity today, though there is still a divide in the spread of technical knowledge.--Pharos 05:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
