«Although a 2000 study by Eurescom [Rich Ling, The Mobile Connection (San Francisco: Elsevier, 2004): 16-17].showed some educational and income-based differences in access to and use of the mobile telephone, on the whole, Ling and other observers conclude that the “digital divide” issues associated with the personal computer and the Internet do not appear to apply to the world of mobile telephony. A mobile phone requires the user to dial a number to put a call through—no extraordinary feat for most people. Beyond that basic function,multimedia messages, Internet chat, and other advanced functionalities seem to befuddle rich and poor, educated and uneducated alike.» (Lasica, 2007: 6)
