A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide—the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor. And that _21_ does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less _22_ then, however, were the new, positive _23_ that work against the digital divide. _24_, there are reasons to be _25_.There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more _26_, it is in the interest of business to universalize access—after all, the more people online, the more potential _27_ there are. More and more _28_, afraid their countries will be left _29_, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be — 30_ together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will _31— rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for __32_ world poverty that we’ve ever had. Of course, the use of the Internet isn’t the only way to _33_ poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has _34_ potential.To _35_ advantage of this tool, some poor countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices _36_ respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is a/an _37_ of their sovereignty might well study the history of _38_ (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so. And that is_37_America’s Second Wave infrastructure —_40_ roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on—were built with foreign investment.
