| However, because of digital divide, many schools don’t have access to new technologies and teachers, who have generation gap of technologies. So students can’t receive technology education in school and that leads to digital divide of the next generation. This is a vicious cycle and must be broken. | However, because of digital divide, many schools don’t have access to new technologies and teachers, who have generation gap of technologies.

So if students don't have access and knewledge of these new technologies, they will not be able to teach their children neither. Parents' technological education on children will fade out in our life. |

They need computer labs, high speed internet, and teachers to teach new technologies. Local or federal government has to support and improve education by providing technical devices like computers. It is also a good idea for teacheers to teach students some more advanced computing skills like Java programming.
