The New Digital Divide

May 7, 2005

Seth Godin had a great post today on the New Digital Divide...one that is based far more on choice than on circumstance.

the digerati are using the learning tools built into the Net to get smarter, faster. A new Net tool can propogate to millions in just a week or two. Unlike the old digital divide, this means that the divide between the digerati and the rest of the world is accelerating.

So, it's choice time.

Either you get it or you don't, basically. And it can be hard work to keep up. There's a pretty steep learning curve to be and stay on the right side of this new divide, but I think (at least for me) it's worth it.

Just being connected is no longer enough.
