- More about Digitally Invisible: How the Internet Is Creating the New Underclass
The digital divide is a significant issue that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly those in the United States. It creates a new type of underclass and widens the gaps among social classes, racial and ethnic minorities, and urban and rural communities. The author offers fresh ideas for providing equitable access to existing and emerging technologies to offset the unintended outcomes of increasing automation, the use of big data, and the burgeoning app economy. Remedying digital disparities is in the best interest of U.S. competitiveness in the technology-driven world of today and tomorrow.

The digital divide, which affects more than half of the world's population, is a significant issue that has far-reaching real-life consequences. In the United States, millions of people are excluded from the Internet, including those who are poor, less educated, people of color, older, or living in rural communities. This digital exclusion is rapidly creating a new type of underclass, as these segments of society are unable to exploit the opportunities provided by the Internet. The book explores the consequences of digital exclusion through the real-life narratives of individuals, communities, and businesses that lack sufficient online access. It focuses on the places in America where technology is widening the gaps among social classes, racial and ethnic minorities, and urban and rural communities. The author offers fresh ideas for providing equitable access to existing and emerging technologies, which can offset the unintended outcomes of increasing automation, the use of big data, and the burgeoning app economy. In the end, she makes the case that remedying digital disparities is in the best interest of U.S. competitiveness in the technology-driven world of today and tomorrow.
