6 out of 10 Latinos in California can’t read VivirLatino, or any other blog because they do not have internet access. A recent statewide survey conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California indicates that the digital divide is growing and is based on ethnicity, demographics and income.
Latinos and low-income residents are less likely to use computers and surf the Web than non-Hispanic whites and African Americans, according to the report.The study, to be released today, found that 40 percent of Latinos have Internet access, and less than half own computers, compared with 86 percent of whites, 84 percent of Asians and 79 percent of African Americans.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
