A recent NY Times article, "One Internet Village, Divided," made me think again about a conversation we had several times this semester in "This Is Your Brain on the Internet," my terrific undergraduate ISIS (Information Science + Information Studies) course. Especially inspired by Lindsey, the graduate "teaching apprentice" in the course, we often talked about global issues of equity and access. My persistent question was how can  the utopic rhetoric of a worldwide web exist side by side with a global economy in which the gap between the obscenely rich and the desperately poor grows wider each year. The Times article gives that question yet another spin: in developing countries, the Web may indeed be more equitable than society itself (not equitable by any means but more so than the gross economic disparities). Yet there is no advertising revenue from this use of bandwidth in poor countries or by the poor. So then how do we reconcile "information wants to be free" with global capitalism?
