Midterm 1 Review

To understand "racial ravine" it is definitely important to understand "the digital divide". Based on the articles and class discussion, racial ravine is basically another interpretation of the digital divide where you can see inequality in cyberpower based on ethnic differences. This term came from page 1 of Social Capital and Cyberpower in the African-American Community. This is an important concept because the term racial ravine means basically the same thing as the digital divide, it just makes the digital divide more specific by pointing out where the divide can be thought to be.
