How About Some Simple Solutions?
Now that you’ve learned some things about the Digital Divide, why don’t you aware other people about it? There are actually a lot of people who don’t know about this ever-growing issue! Along with giving awareness on the Digital Divide, why not educate Information Technology to other people too? There is no harm in visiting a local school and teaching them some basics on using a computer and finding their ways through the internet to get more information than what they may get from a textbook; even though it might mean little to you, it would be a great deal to them.
Another way to fight against the digital divide is donating any kinds of technology you have laying around in your house; yes, i know about them! We all have broken laptops, mobile phones, radios, iPods (it doesn’t only have to be computers!). If you don’t use them anymore, why not donate it to a local project -or even better- have your own little project where you could ask your friends if they could donate some stuff too. Imagine what a difference your old phones and laptops could do to children living under a dollar a day!
