Answer: Information technology has influenced the way many of us live and work today.
We use the internet to look and apply for jobs, shops, conduct research, make airline
reservations, and explore areas of interest. The digital divide between the populations
who have access to the internet and information technology tools and those who don't is
based on income, race, education, household type, and geographic location, but the gap
between groups is narrowing. Over 80 percent of college graduates use the internet as
compared with 40 percent of high school completers and 13 percent of high school
dropouts. Seventy-two percent of household with two percent have internet access; 40
percent of female, single parent household do. Ninety-eight percent of schools in the
country are wired with at least one internet connection. The number of classrooms with
Internet connection differs by the income level of student. Using the percentage of
students who are eligible for free lunches at school to determine income level, we see
that the higher percentage of the school with more affluent students have wired
classrooms than those with high concentrations of low-income students.
