White House Education Press Release (April 17, 2000) on
THE IMPORTANCE OF BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE AND
CREATING DIGITAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL AMERICANS

---

Better-educated Americans are more likely to be connected.

The divide between high and low-income Americans is significant.

Whites are more likely to be connected than African-Americans and Hispanics. (there is virtually no gap in computer ownership between white and African- American households earning more than $75,000).

Wealthier schools are more likely to be connected to the Internet than poorer schools.

People with disabilities are less likely to have access to technology.
