Digital Citizenship examines three aspects of participation in society online:
economic opportunity, democratic participation, and inclusion in prevailing
forms of communication. The authors find that Internet use at work increases
wages, with less-educated and minority workers receiving the greatest benefit,
and that Internet use is significantly related to political participation,
especially among the young. The authors examine in detail the gaps in
technological access among minorities and the poor and predict that this digital
inequality is not likely to disappear in the near future. Public policy, they
argue, must address educational and technological disparities if we are to
achieve full participation and citizenship in the twenty-first century.
