Digital Divide vs Digital Inclusion - Where Are We At?

After reading Danica's blog post Digital Divide and Social Media: Connectivity Doesn’t End the Digital Divide, Skills Do and Simon Phipps's post The New Digital Divides in Computer World UK related to it, I decided to write down my own little addition to this social perspective.

Yes, digital divide concept sucks. This old, outdated and completely wrong term has been the 1990's-2000 fashon. In the same basket are: "information society," "digital gap", and all the issues based on access to newer, more, and better technologies. This corresponds to a framing of social conditions on a binary basis as “haves” and “have-nots.”
