Time is of the Essence

The digital divide.org is rather adamant about narrowing the gap that exists in today's society.  Obviously this is a rather extreme organization that feels that everyone in the world should benefit from technology.

If the gap is going to be closed, it seems that no one entity could achieve such a thing, but multiple as the site has numerous backers in its plan.  I do believe that the divide could most definitely be cured in America.  If i believe that it could be true for the states then I must believe that it is true for the world, that it will only take more time due to the broader scale of it.

Although when I think about it, you can't make people use the internet or just handout a computer and say, "Hey, use this."  But with almost everything going online there is a need even now to be connected and there will only be more in the future.

The key to it all in my mind is time and cooperation between those in cahoots to bring forth the narrowing.  I cannot see a day without me being connected and I see it as a necessity in my life as it is.
