I often hear broadcast media and educators refer to the “Digital Divide. Professor Adam Banks informed that the ”ownership of technology is a tool not necessarily access.” Most Black person use technology mostly for entertainment. The Pugh Study was referred to “consciousness of what we do with the tool. Layering of the digital divide has to investigated.” This video sparked my interest into doing research on the digital divide and the Pugh Study because I would like to know more.
