How is it that the internet propagates social inequality?

media shaped and deepen social inequality, how does the internet, as a media causes this? are there any examples?

How is it that the internet propagates social inequality?
You could also say that the Internet hinders real human-to-human contact, giving people with a lower SES who don't have Internet access an advantage in the real world oh human interaction. Nowadays, computers aren't just for the wealthy though. A computer can be purchased for less than the price of a low-end refrigerator. And I'm sure many people with lower SES can afford some sort of Internet access, at least the $10 a month dialup.
Reply:It's said by some that not every family can afford a computer and even if someone gives them one its costly to have internet access. So in their mind it creates the inequality of the have %26amp; have-nots.
