"Digital Divide" (concept)

The "Digital Divide" refers to the gap between individuals or communities with access to modern technology, such as high-speed internet, computers, and digital devices, and those without. This divide can influence opportunities in education, employment, healthcare, and social participation. Factors like geographic location, income level, education, and infrastructure contribute to this disparity. Essentially, it highlights how unequal access to digital resources can create differences in quality of life and socio-economic mobility, emphasizing the need for policies to promote equitable digital inclusion for all.
