Latinos and the Digital Divide.
For many Latinos, Smartphones are the only way to go online to meet their basic information needs. Latinos are more likely to depend on their Smartphones to find health services, educational content and other essential needs. What does it mean for Latinos to have no high-speed Internet connection at home and depend on Smartphones as their only path online? Experts discuss the opportunities to find affordable tools online for learning at home and citizen participation.
