Virtual Equality: The Information Revolution and the Inner City

"Every child in America deserves a chance to participate in the Information Revolution," says President Clinton. But first, the inner-city technology ghetto must be eliminated. In this program, representatives of groups such as the National Urban League, ASPIRA, the East Harlem Tutorial Program, the Technology Access Foundation, and the Urban Technology Center examine the urgent need for technology-centered education through home computer access, community technology centers, and schools—properly funded and staffed. They also assess the use of computers as tools for higher learning rather than merely as drillmasters. (57 minutes)
