More divide

A colleague has just found and sent me an interesting review on the use of ICT in the general population.  Here is the URL (which may or may not link).  http://www.ukonlinecentres.com/corporate/images/stories/downloads/digitalinclusion_a_discussion_of_the_evidence_base.pdf

This contains some points that make me wonder about whether the evangelists for the 'Digital Native' argument are really overstating the case for a large number of youngsters.  It also makes me wonder about the OU's move to on-line provision without increasing specific training (39% of UK adults do not use the internet and the uptake of internet connection has showed little growth since 2004)

Interesting stuff - if slightly off topic
