In Oklahoma the Internet has shown up in the rural areas. Oklahoma is 30% rural which amounts to 1.3M people who don't live in any kind of town. Rural Oklahoma is rapidly changing so fast many of the people are having a hard time understanding the changes. It is not that it is falling behind, but generations old ways of order became obsolete or massively challenged overnight. This community is being asked to catch up on multiple decades of urban cultural in a few years. So they vote to slow it down.
The Urban-Rural divide is real. Massive investments in Rural Oklahoma and Rural America are needed. Something I hope to promote if and when I enter the Oklahoma State House.
