“If you’re not online, you don’t exist.” This is increasingly becoming the reality of modern global societies. When your healthcare, your education, and your job prospects are all online, what happens if you don’t have reliable access to the internet?
In Digitally Invisible: How the Internet is Creating the New Underclass, author Nicol Turner Lee tells stories from across America – including two from Hartford – that highlight the challenges and inequities faced by communities in a digital desert.
Dr. Nicol Turner-Lee, Director of the Brookings AI Equity Lab and Center for Technology Innovation, joins us on Digital Learning Day to reveal how the global digital divide is affecting our community and the world – and how closing the gap will increase America’s competitiveness on the global stage.
In partnership with the Hartford Public Library.
