Summary

"A leading researcher explores digital disparity and the pandemic and asks: how did people of different backgrounds use digital media to negotiate the challenges of isolation, unemployment, home schooling, remote work, and COVID-19 itself? And how did digital technology intersect with existing social and economic disparities? Although it is undeniable that technologies helped facilitate numerous important activities during lockdown, needing to be tethered constantly to digital media has not worked out equally well for everyone"-- Provided by publisher.
