Digital Divide - where does the biggest division lie?

Created by Cristina Costa

I live in Manchester, UK, although I am originally from Portugal.
I created this slam because although I'm from a country where educational budgets are very "slim", or inexistent, it never stopped me from using the web to learn and communicate, and help others do the same. In that sense, I have come to realize that although access to some technology is needed in order to become part of the Digital Age, the most important aspect to overcome the digital division is the willing to WANT TO be part of today's future. That's a major driving force!
I connect, therefore I learn. I want, therefore I can. :-)
Although, I am aware things are not that simple or linear, this is indeed one of the golden keys to overcome the division: vision, openness and willing.
As the poet said (and here comes Fernando Pessoa): "God wants, humankind dreams, the deed is born"
