I dunno, I had a lot of friends from poorer families. Their computers were shared and usually not the best, but I never saw anyone without any access at all.
Group projects were regularly done remotely on Skype after school to do homework (admittedly to my chagrin as I didn't have a Windows machine to run Office).
Is there more reliable data on this?
Also, from the article:
"But, he says, one-third of young people do not have any internet access and many more lack the quality of connection needed to work or learn from home."
