I am requesting help to finish my syllabus. I'm looking for two or three readings (total, not each) on two topics: 1) digital divide (preferably a reading that does NOT focus on race, and something that is recent) 2) a non-US perspective on how the web has/is changing our lives, the way we communicate, etc. The class is called "Communication and Social Change" and too much of what we're doing is US-focused, so I want to include a different perspective. I'm looking for short articles/reports (not full blown journal articles) and even popular press articles, preferably available online. The readings are used as discussion stimulants, so they can be controversial (like the recent posting to this list how you can now divorce via SMS in Malaysia). Though general pointers are welcome, due to time pressures I would much appreciate being directed to specific articles rather than entire websites. If you prefer, reply directly to bunz@scils.rutgers.edu. Thanks so much!
