Abstract
A brief analysis about the Digital Gap’ discourse and its solutions immediately brings memories about development paradigms applied in Latin America in the past. In that sense, I propose for this paper: (1) consider historically the discourse about the digital gap; stating its origins in the public agenda and its current status of social mandate; (2) examine its conceptual limitations as a development category applied to communities; (3) distinguished between levels of use, with the objective of deducing implicit models of development suggested by the discourses; and, (4) analyse continuities and breakthroughs with previous politics about promotion of new technologies and innovation in the region
