My guess is that rich parents take their kids to the zoo and violin lessons and what not, while poor kids have more time to waste on Facebook and Angry Birds. Not too surprising or alarming if you ask me.
The real digital divide is between creators and consumers. I'd like to see more effort to get kids to create with computers. Like programming, but also writing, drawing, etc.
