520    A revolution in information technology is redefining 
       poverty, as how much you know is becoming just as 
       important as how much you own. This multi-award winning 
       documentary examines one possible solution to the growing 
       technological gap between rich and poor - the so-called 
       "digital divide" - that threatens to consign millions to 
       an "information underclass." When Indian researcher Sugata
       Mitra embedded a high-speed computer in a wall separating 
       his firm's New Delhi headquarters from an adjacent slum, 
       he discovered that slum children quickly taught themselves
       how to surf the net, read the news, and download games and
       music. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other 
       locations. Each time the results were similar: within 
       hours, and without instruction, the children began 
       browsing the Internet. Here we see how children, given 
       only access and opportunity, teach themselves the 
       rudiments of computer literacy with no instruction; also 
       we discover that the spread of information technology is 
       changing societies around the world, and the implications 
       of Mitra's experiment are profound, especially for poor 
       people.
