E&L: week4: Digital Divide

According to EMOR's 2008. year's internet survey, the computer and internet usage of the inhabitants of Estonia and the existence of a computer and internet connection in households has raised to 806 000 people in age 6-74.

The gap between estonian urban and rural regions isn't big. Though, there are families that still dream about having computer in their household. According to the survey every 3rd family couldn't afford buying a computer in 2008. The survey also reveals that homecomputer is connected with internet in 316 000 families.

As most most of Estonia is covered with wireless internet connection, internet is available almost everywhere. Definetly the availibilty of internet connection in bigger cities is not equal to the situation in smaller cities, but if you need it, you definately find it quickly.
