Hey, you guys are usually good for giving advice, so I figured I'd come here...
I need to write a term paper on the digital divide, and I need to pick two countries to compare. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which countries to pick? (one on each side of the divide, obviously)
I ask this in regards to the ease of obtaining pertinent information. It's really irritating when I feel like I have to scavenge for sources
Anyway, your help would be appreciated!

Try South Korea and Zimbabwe.
For a while I'm pretty sure that South Korea had the highest broadband distribution, and Zimbabwe is essentially the most fucked up country in the world, so that's about as much contrast as your going to get.

You could also go the whole route of picking two countries that are similarly situated and have other comparable things, but the technology gap is big, like Israel and the Palestinian territories.

The digital divide isn't so much about countries I'd think. Write about the divide, about poor and rich people (like us) instead of specific countries. And you may want to mention ideas to get over it like that $100 laptop.

Speaking of "divide"s, I shaved my taint this morning.

Divide this!
Try N.Korea and S.Korea, enough contrast in the same geographic area, people starving and the ones in the army are eating well.
If you think about them using computers, then think again.
