What is the digital divide?
Communication between computers and humans has turn out to be very essential, due to the increase in economic, social and also political aspects. But, not everyone in the world has this access to technology, and therefore, this causes a digital divide – separating the ones who are advantaged and the ones who are disadvantaged. There is an unequal access to digital and network resources.
There are many reasons for why there has been a global digital divide. Economic or social factors are some of the reasons for this divide.
The three factors that I will look at are: economic, social and also geographical.
I will discuss how these factors contribute to the digital divide, the measure being taken to bridge the gap and also the impact of the digital divide; both locally and globally.
