BRIDGING
THE DIGITAL DIVIDE:
EQUALITY
IN THE INFORMATION AGE

DESCRIPTION
The
digital revolution has transformed the lives of many, but also has left
untouched the lives of many others. As a result, a large segment of the
world population misses out on the tremendous political, social,
economic, educational, and career opportunities created by the digital
revolution. This gap between the information haves and have-nots is
commonly referred to as the digital divide. Since the mid-1990s, the
digital divide has received considerable attention in international
forums, in presidential debates, and among corporate leaders.
In light of the alarming disparities between the information haves and
have-nots, the Howard M. Squadron Program in Law, Media and Society at
the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University selected the
digital divide as the topic for its Second Squadron Symposium on
Internet, Law & Society.
