    Closing the Digital Divide

    In the US, only 71% of the population has access to


    broadband internet. As far as education goes, schools are
    considering giving each student some sort of laptop or tablet to
    encourage more learning on their own. The problem with this arises
    when the student takes home their laptop and does not have access
    to the internet. This problem is recognized highly in lower economic
    class homes. A solution to this problem would be to create
    downloadable assignments that students without internet can
    access at home.
    The main reason many people do not have internet access is
    because of the cost. Making internet access more affordable will
    close the digital divide even more. Making the internet more
    affordable to lower income households will make people more
    successful in their education and careers.
