Key concepts in this essay

access vs. meaningful adoption vs. realized benefit
disparity by age, income, geography, literacy
positive outcomes (job search, connection) vs. costs (time, mental health, expense)

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Oversimplifying 'benefit' to mean 'has access'; ignores that access without skills or affordability = limited real benefit
Ignoring which populations haven't benefited (elderly, low-income, rural areas) and why, leading to shallow analysis
Claiming universal benefit based on early adopters' experience; selection bias
