It is good news that higher education staff, and the government are pushing for open access to learning materials needed for college courses. In my experience, the books and course materials are more expensive at my college bookstore than outside book sources. I don't feel that is right. Students should not have to pay three times as much at their own campus bookstore to get the recourses they need to get an education.

The digital divide is very real and obvious when looking at the graph provided in the text. Because technology comes in many forms, I personally did not realize there are billons of people that do not have access to a something most could consider basic, such as broadband. However, we must realize that many developing countries have a poor economic system.
