This performance-based text uncovers internet knowledge/power inequalities through the use of code. The term codeis used in a very broad sense and goes beyond formal computer science language to include hardware, software, and internet terms that are used in everyday real and "virtual" dialogue. The author argues that the process of the construction of knowledge claims takes place when learning to use the internet. The researcher uses case studies to expose how these codes affect the people on the bottom half of the Digital Divide. Nearly two years of participant observation at a community-based internet program in a small midwestern city inform this work. The primary mission of the program was to provide low-income community residents with tools and access to the internet in order to help bridge the gap in the Digital Divide and to build community networks.
