I suspect the deepest schism in the world today is not any of the obvious ones (left/right, race, generations, gender, auth/lib, 1%/99%) but some non-obvious one induced by technology My candidate is asynchronous people vs. synchronous people. Text-first vs phone-interrupt
Yes but unlike chat/voice, most of the planet has neither so by definition it can’t be an important split

Noted. Was thinking about online / offline consumption patterns. Reminded of Mumbai platform download dhanda where you pay dude in shop to download latest media to ur phone for small fee vs more affluent able to stream whenever. Digital divide basically.

I think divide will go beyond bandwidth and include compute. The more compute a person can afford, the more they can do in physical world. Vehicle autonomy, Crypto mining, next level home security, Pokemon go-ing at some level all functions of bandwidth + compute.
