Digital divide

Today, I researched the 'digital divide' on http://www.groups.google.com/ .
Unfortunately I did not find anything of any help to me. The only one benefit these groups have is it enables people to all talk about a common interest they have, however, it is very difficult to find a suitable group to read or join, as they often re-direct to other sites or do not have any messages on them. I do not think that it fulfils its purpose very well.
