Digital+Access+Survey



Develop a survey to measure digital access in your community.
 * **Description**

The people taking my survey do not believe that there is much of a disparity as relating to equitable internet access for either the sexes or races. The results did however show that an overwhelming majority agreed that less than 50% of those who make less than $30,000 per year had access to the internet. In addition, 40% believed that those who did not have internet access did not have access because of cost. These results show that the majority of those taking this survey felt that economic status was the main factor resulting in inequitable digital access. I personally agree with these results based on my interactions with several hundred students. It is quite evident to me that yes, there is a disparity between the races to some degree. However, this disparity is more closely related to the income level of my students. My students (regardless of race) who are of a lower socio-economic status tend to not have access to the internet. Unfortunately, it just so happens that more of my lower income students happen to be minorities. As such, I think programs that reduce the cost of internet access or that provide hardware, such as the Digital Divide Initiative, are the type of programs that are needed to help remedy this digital divide.
