"Digital Generations" on NPR
National Public Radio Morning Edition is running an interesting weeklong series called "Digital Generations" on how the Internet is changing the lives of ordinary Americans.
Now more than ever, the Web is becoming the primary source of news, entertainment and communication for an increasing number of people. But gaps in access still exist between young and old, rich and poor -- and some worry the Internet has become a substitute for real learning and human interaction.
The stories that have broadcast so far are:
- Nov. 29 - Rural Areas Demanding High-Speed Internet Access
- Nov. 30 - Digital Kids: Growing Up in a High-Tech World
- Dec. 1 - Digital Generations: Log-in Agony
Addendum
- Dec. 2 - Unplugging for Art's Sake
