This chapter explores into the development of prejudice and discrimination on the internet, also the review of course on how online prejudice influence offline behavior.  People have projected that the internet has the possibility to se a surge in prejudice, while a decline in discrimination. The opening part of the chapter discusses the differences about who is using the internet and for what reason. It explains that the “digital divide” happens to have turned over from a simple approach and toward utilization. When technology became more affordable and available, a “digital divide” between the rich and poor is still present. The rich and educated are still more likely to have better connection to digital resources. “Digital divide” is the gap between people who have accessibility to the internet and those who do not. Having a shortfall of the internet is a disadvantage to the people who cannot get access to the internet because of the extensive knowledge that can only be found on the internet.

The digital divide causes a major problem in countless parts of the world. The parts of the world with the most access to the internet are the United States, Europe and Northern Asia. Where as Africa, India, and southern parts of Asia are limited.

The reason for limited internet access in these parts of the world, is that these nations are not able to afford the basic start up cost to be able to invest into technology. Techno-activist Aleph Molinari has created a way to closing the “digital divide” gap by creating spaces around the world for kids to have access to the internet and teach them how to use computers. Here is a TED talk with Aleph on what he did to bridge the gap of the “digital divide”.

Access to computers and the internet and being able to use them are becoming a crucial part of our lives. Technology creates an impact on the way teachers are teaching children in the classroom. While children are being exposed to these technological advancements at a young age. It will will help them in the workplace, where technology is becoming imperative.
