	What do you have to say about The Digital Divide? Avez-vous quelque chose pour dire de 'Fracture numérique'? Discutiamo il "Digital Divide"! Usted tiene algo para decir sobre “The Digital Divide”? Discutindo a 'Divisão Digital'! We are still looking for articles, poems, short stories, or interviews for our Panorama Issue on ‘The Digital Divide’! In all languages! This is a topic that is relevant to all TakingITGlobal members – as we are all among the lucky people with access to computers and the internet. There are millions of people in the world for whom access to computer technology and the internet is impossible. However, the Digital Divide exists even amongst TIG members. There are those of us for whom access to the internet is easy and simple – it is often available in our homes – and those of us for whom it is much more difficult and sometimes extremely expensive! Write about your own experience with computer technology and the internet. What benefits has it brought you? Have you faced any challenges in accessing it? Is the Digital Divide really a crucial issue for those millions of people without access to technology? Are there more important topics that must be dealt with first – like HIV/AIDS or poverty? How do you think that organizations like TakingITGlobal could be addressing the issue of access to technology? Do you know any TIG members who are facing barriers to technology? Do you have ideas for a solution to the Digital Divide in your own community? Have you witnessed any successful solutions? What does it mean to grow up in the digital age? Share with the TakingITGlobal community! Submit an article, poem, short story or interview to ‘The Digital Divide’ Issue! Go to this page and click on ‘Submit to this Issue’: http://www.takingitglobal.org/express/panorama/nextissue.html Do you know others who would be interested in contributing their writing on this topic? You can submit articles on behalf of people who aren’t already TIG members! Just include their name at the beginning of the article! Send a message out to a TIG friend who you know has an interesting experience, opinion or story to share! Looking forward to reading your contributions!
