These tools are wonderful, but so many students are still left behind because they don’t have adequate access to computers with a high-speed internet connection. If our society truly wants to make higher education and information more accessible and even free (think MIT’s course info online), then shouldn’t every public school student have access to these amazing new tools? If these technologies are truly going to transform our society, then it must be a top priority to ensure that these resources are available for an entire generation of low-income students. Otherwise, the "the gap between the physical and virtual world" will not be the most relevant gap, but rather the gap between those who have access and those who do not that will carry the most consequences.
