Economical Factor:
The economical factor is the ability to buy the technology that is needed. Some people live in rural or urban areas, and therefore cannot access the required technology.
The LEDCs countries; such as Mali and Cambodia have less access to digital economy, and also the internet. These countries have just the basic supplies to survive, and therefore this is more of a priority to them than the enjoyment of technology. Also many areas – such as the villages in these countries do not have electrical power to run any of the technology and internet.
However, in the more economically developed countries (MEDCs), it is easier to access technology, as they can afford to buy this. Also, in these countries, the internet access and electricity is reliable, and does not cut off as often as the less economically developed countries do.
Richer people can afford access to technology and also the internet. However this is not the same for the poor – as they can only afford the basics such as food and water.
Below, is evidence to show that MEDC schools are mostly online, telling us that many of these countries have access to the internet, unlike the LEDC countries.
The rich have many advantages over the poor, as the rich can afford internet access and advancements in technology. However, the poor are not able to afford these, and it seems as if the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
With unreliable power and electricity, businesses cannot ensure that the things that they are showing on their site are being accesses by the developing countries. This is a problem for both businesses and definitely the people living in the LEDCs. Also, the poor countries do not have the internet access to be able carry out their e-commerce and e-business. This is a great disadvantage.
