So, where can you see this digital divide? It’s everywhere, really. You probably realize that in a big bustling city, information technology is used very widely, whilst in more rural areas, phones might not be able to work as good because there isn’t enough signal. Or an even worse example; where countries in Africa or Asia might not be as educated on using information technology or doesn’t even have access to these gadgets, this is the digital divide.
After going through a school project on interviewing local schools in Indonesia about their access to IT and the skills they have, most of them said they have computers and could access the internet; but they don’t use as much facilities as we take for granted. Pretty weird, huh? what’s the point of having a computer when you don’t know how to use it- so just having access to IT doesn’t mean that you’ve closed the gap with another person in a more developed country!
