I am a fan of Bill Moyer's and I read with interest his take on accessibility to the Internet. Once again he affirms that the real difference is not between the haves and the have nots because here in America we all (almost all) have access to broadband or DSL. The enthusiasm level here is less than in the rest of the industrial world, therefore we have an international divide: less American users of the Internet per capita. The site also has a message board for disabled and older people to share their experiences, and for the most part they thank the Internet for improving their life quality by keeping them attuned and in contact with the outside world.
