Access and Warschauer

Warschauer describes access in three parts:

1. Device (computer, one-time purchases)
   
2. Conduit (ongoing, monthly payments)
   
3. *Literacy (set of social practices and cognitive abilites)
   

There are four resources also necessary for connectivity and informationalism: physical resources (access to devices again), digital resources (online information), human resources (literacy practices and education), and social resources (community/institutional ICT supporters).

ICT=Information and Communication Technology

Using these modes of access, the workforce will become less of a hierarchy of power and more of a network of colleagues working together with a more developed set of skills (opposed to repetitive, narrow skill sets).
