Digital Divide

Digital Divide is the gap of technology between the 3rd world countries and countries coming saturated with technology. It can also be classed between the people who can afford technology and the ones who can’t afford technology. Digital divide stops 3rd world countries and the people who may not be able to afford the price of technology from having the experience that most people take for granted.
People who live with the digital divide are at a disadvantage because it reduces their possibilities of applying for jobs, being educated and improving their general knowledge.
However may would say they are at an advantage because they live in a more sociable manner depending solely on friends, neighbours and family for communication and for the exchange of information and face to face company.
