The Promise Of Access Av Daniel Greene

<b>Why simple technological solutions to complex social issues continue to appeal to politicians and professionals who should (and often do) know better.</b><br><br>Why do we keep trying to solve poverty with technology? What makes us feel that we need to learn to code--or else? In <i>The Promise of Access</i>, Daniel Greene argues that the problem of poverty became a problem of technology in order to manage the contradictions of a changing economy. Greene shows how the digital divide emerged as a policy problem and why simple technological solutions to complex social issues continue to appeal to politicians and professionals who should (and often do) know better.
