We often talk of digital divide Italian, but not enough of ' alphabetical divides, that is the fact that 65% of the population does not possess sufficient literacy skills to understand a newspaper article or to interpret a diagram like the one below. L ' alphabetical divide explains much of the digital divide, because a computer has done for half an alphabetic keyboard, and because the Internet is a place that is accessed by typing words written (because the bottom is made of writes: 001,010 , IF, body, etc.).. 
Obviously, the share of people functionally illiterate or semi-literate is achieved only by the media "not alphabetic, such as radio, mobile phones and television, which in most cases is the only source of information . L ' alphabetical divide can perhaps to better understand why some political scandals, that all educated people know, not "heavy" electorally. The chart above has been obtained by crossing data OECD (2001) with data on functional illiteracy Censis (2006) on the use of different media by the population.
I take this opportunity to point out here the site of the Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics.
