First, there is no such thing as a "digital divide" -- no matter how many books and articles are written on the subject. There is no more a digital divide than there is a BMW divide or an intelligence divide. Guess what? People are different and no amount of handwringing will make it so. Yes, digital archiving is making it possible for more people to access knowledge from where ever they happen to be, but this does not mean that everything will be free. Intellectual property still exists.

Great video! Reminds me a bit of Leadbeater's We Think

While developing countries do most certainly have issues of information access, you may also want to look into how countries like Africa & India are leapfrogging into newer technologies/services like mobile communications--without waiting for landlines. (e.g. Africans/mobiles/banking)

How do social & political paradigms affect the information needs of a population, and how do libraries as physical & virtual spaces meet those needs.
