Whatever Happened to the "Digital Divide"?

Let me refresh you, the "Digital Divide" is the pernicious, diabolical reality that computers are a) expensive and b) very important in today's world. The dastardliness of it all, in case it isn't obvious to you, stems from the fact that this combination ostensibly means that poorer people, racial minorities especially, have less access to the benefits that computer technology brings and are increasingly, it follows, shut out of the modern world.

Well, where did the Digital Divide go? Down the Memory Hole (along with numerous other mushy pet causes other the years that didn't pan out) because now, someone is doing something about it. Although that someone is the wrong someone.

Here's hoping Wally World starts selling bio-deisel, so that global warming can take its place alongside the Digital Divide in the annals of Ridiculous Crusades of Bygone Eras.
