I wonder though, in a country like Canada, what causes this dived. Is it systemic - lack of infrastructure, low bandwidth, high costs, etc. Or are socio-demographic factors at play - interest, desire, willingness to learn, relevance, personality, age/comfort, etc. Could certainly be an interesting debate... but either way it's a good thing if more people get engaged with the online world, so best of luck to both Jennifer Lester & Autom8 The phrase ‘digital divide’ is more commonly used to describe the lack of technology in developing countries or poverty-laden areas of the western world… however I can easily see it’s applicability to the country vs. city scenario.
