Dear llan I am glad to know that you are working in the area of Digital Divide - this is a really fascinating area - the contribution of technology (IT) which has changed the living-scape of the world. Now there is no more literate/ illiterate it is how knowledgeable/comfortable you are in handling the digital gadgets. This could be taken as an important study in the developing world like India here a vegetable vendor is more comfortable in handling a mobile phone than a pen. A lady may find it difficult to operate a kitchen grinder but cool with a mobile phone!..... What is that drives them to become so comfortable , is an important subject which needs to be looked in to. In fact there are certain studies where mobile phones are being used as a teaching -tool for neo -literates. Best of Luck N.Shashidhara
