Digital Divide

Do I believe that digital divide still exist in the United States? You bet I do! So many people in the United States can't afford a computer/laptop/notebook and if they do have one they can't always afford to pay for internet. Now a days with schools that have online registering and homework teachers give that require tons on online research or typing an essay, or jobs that you apply to online, it makes it really hard to survive without internet let alone a computer. I think that it is definitely the library's responsibility to address this issue. Why? Because libraries tend to the need of the community around them. If they don't have computers then where is someone who doesn't have a one or access to one going to go for their homework or work? So, yes, libraries should be concerned with this issue. If libraries don't have any computers then they aren't tending to all of the community's needs.
