Tiffini Moreland's curator insight, April 3, 2017 1:54 AM
This article shows statistics that tell us that disadvantaged students don't use the internet the same as rich students. This is believed to be so because poor students only have access to internet at school. It states that disadvantages teenagers are less likely to take advantage of online opportunities because they are unaware of them.

It doesn't really affect me because I don't have an iPhone, I use an android just because I prefer Google over Apple. I agree with the thought of this, but disagree with them trying to go against Google, because Google is the more superior program.
