Resumo: |
The article examines some of the key arguments that involve the issue of "digital divide" in order to evaluate the limits that such a problem poses to on-line democracy projects. First, one discusses the conceptual transformations and interpretations concerning the idea of digital divide. Then the text presents the different types of inequality identified by several authors (such as the technical, individual, and geographic factors). Next, one studies the effects of the digital divide on the experiences of online democracy. We conclude that the issue of digital divide (a) need more than government policies to be properly addressed; (b) depends on contextual factors; (c) and that from a epistemological point of view this is a constantly moving concept. |
