From The Conversation:
Today’s smartphone divide is potentially much more difficult to bridge as it goes
hand and glove with expensive consumer technologies and private infrastructure. We

of California, Irvine and Mimi Ito, research director, Digital Media and Learning
Research Hub at University of California, Irvine.
