OT I think if these disadvantaged students felt the superior tech of superior people was going to be used to beat them down instead of lift them up - they have every right to be feeling negative. It's not that they felt the technology was going to used against them directly, only that they would be left behind, and it didn't matter that they were better off with the technology only that they felt the gap between rich and poor would widen - whether or not that was true or not (there is ample reason to believe that by lowering the cost of information, computers and the internet would reduce the gap). I pointed out to these students that by restricting the use of computers and the internet to equal access locations, they were actually penalizing those individuals who placed a high value on their time, but that seemed to be ok with them.
