The article above outline three trends among people of color and their use of technology.
The most interesting to me was
Trend #3: Minority internet users don’t just use the social web at higher rates, their attitudes towards these tools differ as well
According to this Pew study, people of color use social media sites at higher rates than whites, and have described their use in terms of community mobilization and dissemination of political information (especially during the 2008 presidential election) more so than whites.
What are some reasons for this difference, do you think?
