"The digital divide is not just about hardware, after all, but encompasses everything from language and education barriers to Internet connectivity. While certainly a laudable effort, it will be interesting to see if Pure Digital will be willing and able to provide the kind of support to truly make the company’s effort effective. It’s one thing to send video cameras to the developing world, it’s another thing entirely to get that footage back to audiences where it can make an impact. "

The Digital Divide Between Male and Female:
In terms of the Digital Divide within a gender context, there is a considerable gap between the two genders. Clearly it can be said that a male society dominate cyberspace. However there is a defined place for females, and this seems to be a small space in which females are bombarded with sexual discrimination, abuse and pornography

Most news reports and other t.v programmes refer to the internet to recieve extra information on a latest theme or franchize, howwever, this is a bad stereotypical view to follow as not everyone has the internet. For example the BBC News may broadcast a live news report and advice people to refer to their website to find out more, this is wrong and unfair. Knowing that there is a civil digital divide in the U.K, (the South generally having more internet access then the North) which means that not everyone has the priveledges that others do, this forces people to miss out.

I sincerely hope that this is not all of the work you have done, Chris. Please upload the rest, so that I can assess it.
Putting all of your posts together (I had really just wanted *one*!), you have a good body of work here. I expect you will need to explain some of these areas in better detail when it comes to preparing your ebook, but you're off to a good start, I believe.
