Abstract onFirm's Survey of College-Bound Students Finds No Digital Divide among Them” an article by Scott Carlson.

Does digital divide exist among student from different races or among different students who attend college and among those who do not? The answer is obviously yes. As mentioned in an article, digital divide is more among black student then it is among white student. Not only this but also, digital divide is more among student who are from rural area then among the students who are from urban area.
White student suffer less from digital divide as they often received guidelines and help from their parents as most of the white parents works in the organization where access to the information technology is readily available. On the other hand, only few black student works in high paying technology fields which also prove the existence of the digital divide.
The main reason for why there is more digital divide among black then among white is that black student lacks quality advice from high school and from their parents. Because of that black students have often been encouraged to shoot low
