Abstract
Clear socioeconomic divisions are emerging in the use of new technology such as the Internet. There is a risk that members of low-income communities will become increasingly isolated from opportunities, information and resources that are vital to their social and economic status but are accessible only by people able to use technology. Community networking is seeking to overcome this problem by encouraging the affordable use of computers by people and groups within specific local areas. The US government has recognized community-based access and training schemes as having potential to reduce the digital divide.
