"When they built the interstate highways through Detroit, they divided neighborhoods and paved a path to the suburbs. When we look at the digital divide, we see the information superhighway is doing the same thing: setting communities apart and giving the more affluent a path to abandon the city. For all of the Internet’s power to unite those of us who use it, how can we ensure that it does not divide us from those who don’t?"
Allied Media Projects is at South By Southwest Interactive. We are presenting a panel on Monday, March 12, followed immediately by a mixer event hosted by our friends at Brown Paper Tickets.
