Access to Technology

Access to technology refers to the ability of individuals or communities to use digital tools and resources, such as computers, smartphones, internet connections, and software, to communicate, learn, work, and perform daily tasks. It depends on factors like affordability, infrastructure, and digital literacy. When people have good access, they can participate fully in modern society, access information, and pursue opportunities. Conversely, limited access can create barriers, leading to inequality and reduced chances for personal and professional growth. Ensuring broad access to technology is essential for fostering inclusive economic development and social participation.
