The document summarizes a talk given by Dr. Mark Graham on the potential of the internet for development and issues of digital divides. It discusses uneven geographies of knowledge on Wikipedia with some regions having many more articles than others. It also notes that local authors in the Middle East, North Africa and East Africa comprise a disproportionately small number of contributors to articles about those regions. The talk explores these topics through several research questions and examples.
