In this digital age, when you can apply for a job, take a course, pay your bills with a tap of your phone, the Internet is not a luxury. It's a necessity.

While the Canadian government released a digital strategy in April, it does nothing to lower Internet price or improve online literacy.

Do people who lack other Internet access options fall into the "urgency" category? https://t.co/ah43md51ku

With the rapid growth of mobile and tablet Internet users, the question begs: Are all Internet access points created equal? @TechCrunch

92% of American teens go online daily, including 24% who go online "almost constantly." http://t.co/5ydFuHyhKu

It's incredible how much Internet adoption trends vary by age #pewinternet

@ACORNCanada Would love to speak with someone within your organization about the work you're doing to close the digital divide in Canada!

What did I learn about the digital divide from my 24 hours without Internet? Not a whole lot. Read about it here: https://t.co/phXTp2GC0A

@AdrienneLaF Interesting article! What do you think accounts for the lower Internet adoption trends within black and Hispanic communities?

[World Wide Webless @WWWebless]

Although whites, blacks and Hispanics have sim. rates of smartphone ownership, minorities rely more on their phone for Internet #pewinternet

After completing 24 hours without a computer or cell phone, it's become excruciatingly clear that I'm totally useless without the Internet.

Just had a great chat about the digital divide with @BerkmanCenter Youth and Media director Sandra Cortesi

Think we can bridge the digital divide in Boston by 2024? #Boston2024 #goalsetting #digitaldivide

[World Wide Webless @WWWebless]

Progress towards universal Internet access is most visible in Boston's poorest neighborhoods... But it's still quite invisible. #Boston
