Title: Disappointed.
Review: The topic of the digital divide is a vastly important one today but the authors of this book get bogged down in apparently slavishly following their television program that the book is based on and neglect to address the broader social implications. These pages read like sound bytes. Surprisingly short in length, poorly written, littered with empty buzzwords, the text focuses, for instance, on the difficult bureaucratic problems bringing the Internet to school systems, but amazingly seems to overlook the joys and encouragement that many teachers and parents have experienced when kids are awakened to the wonderful uses of the computer. To harp on the lack of training of school teachers in this field is not what I was looking for in this book. I hope a competent, exciting author tackles this difficult subject soon in a broader, more evenhanded way.
