This is one of the ironies of technological advancement - it gives opportunity but it also takes away opportunity. It gives opportunity, as you say, by giving unprecedented information access to anyone (with an Internet connection) but as technology advances, the discrepancy increases between those with Internet access and those without it - and the discrepancy even increases in between them! Faster and faster speeds means those with faster Internet can still outperform those without it, and having access at all beats out those with no access..
