TakingITGlobal in Toronto, Canada produces and coordinates the DigitalDivide Network DDN , which is a spinoff of http www.Helping.org Helping.org Helping.org later changed its name to http www.Networkforgood.org Networkforgood.org . The network seeks to narrow the digitaldivide . The website serves as an online community of activists, policymakers, researchers and concerned citizens interested in sharing knowledge to help bridge the digitaldivide. History DDN was originally launched as the DigitalDivide Clearinghouse in October 1999. The Clearinghouse was a section of a larger web portal called Helping.org. Launched by the AOL Foundation , the Benton Foundation , the National Urban League and other institutions, Helping.org was dedicated to volunteerism, technology capacity building for Non profit organizations nonprofits and charitable giving. Two months after the website was launched, Bill Clinton hosted a national DigitalDivide Summit in Washington D.C. During the meeting, representatives from civil society and the private sector met with Clinton soon, the idea was hatched to create a new national Web portal dedicated to bridging the digitaldivide. This decision led to the DigitalDivide Clearinghouse spinning off from Helping.org to become a new website, http www.digitaldividenetwork.org The DigitalDivide Network , which was launching in December 1999 by the Benton Foundation. DDN has become a leading website for organizations interested in sharing news, research and other resources to help bridge the digitaldivide.

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Cultural divide is a term of sociology and human psychology , referring to attempts to describe the differences in reaction, response, and perception of people exposed to multi Culture cultural situations. The phenomenon of the cultural divide emerged as mankind began to explore the world, and encountered vastly different language s, lifestyles, foods, values, and local customs Citation needed date March 2011 . And it has continued significance in the modern world, in the context of the globalization of commerce, easy availability of travel, and dismantling of geographical barriers. These cultural differences are primarily observed firsthand, through human contact, and travel. But the cultural divide can also be seen in various forms of media, such as movies, TV, and on the Internet and through the emergence of Virtual community digital communities and digital means of interaction. All these have resulted in increasing interaction and exchange amongst people of different cultural backgrounds. In essence, the term cultural divide refers to the virtual barriers , caused by cultural differences, that hinder interactions, and harmonious exchange between people of different cultures. Individuals may sense this phenomenon, or they may be oblivious to it. On the positive side, this cultural interaction can result in bridging the cultural divide, which has simultaneously gained importance to those seeking harmony, and peaceful exchange between cultures. When the cultural divide can be bridged, it can be beneficial for all parties. However, when cultures are vastly different, or if a people are opposed to such exchange, the cultural divide can be very difficult to bridge.
