Chapter Chapter 3 in The Global Digital Divides, 2015, pp 57-81 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The concept of digital divide has been present since the 1980s and gained impetus in the 1990s with the advent of widespread web use. A milestone in recognizing it was the publication of a series of reports from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce (NTIAZ, Falling through the Net: a survey of the ‘have nots’ in rural and urban America, 1995, Falling through the Net II: new data on the digital divide, 1998). They summarized and explained national representative surveys that pointed to the growth of ICTs and to variation in use of ICTs by age, educationEducation , income, and race/ethnic categories. The reports indicated for example that young, affluent, male and white or Asian persons tended to have higher rates of technology usage.
