数字鸿沟限制了那些无法随时上网的人的机会。在COVID-19期间，基本活动的在线移动使许多家庭的互联网服务从不便到紧急/危机。在县一级，农村性与互联网速度呈负相关，突出了农村地区的斗争。学校试图通过为学生提供访问来解决提供公平教育机会的挑战，而即使是有服务的家庭也难以保持足够的速度和/或负担得起。基本活动转移到网上，但足够的互联网是一项重要的公共服务，对许多美国家庭来说仍然无法实现。
The digital divide limits opportunities for those without ready access to Internet. Movement online of essential activities during COVID-19 took inadequate Internet service from inconvenient to emergency/crisis for many households. A negative correlation between rurality and Internet speed was found at the county level, highlighting the struggle for rural areas. Schools tackle challenges of providing equitable educational access by attempting to provide access for students, while even households with service available struggle to maintain sufficient speeds and/or can afford it. Essential activities moved online, yet sufficient Internet is an essential public service that remains unattainable for many US households.
