Understanding the Digital Divide

The term digital divide only refers to the technology gap between different countries.

Lack of access to technology is not seen as an issue or a disadvantage.

The digital divide can depend on factors such as age, status, and location.

The digital divide only exists at a national level and not at an international level.

The digital divide only affects people without access to technology, not their developed skills.

Access to broadband and high-speed internet connections is more developed in rural locations than in city locations.

One reason for the higher concentration of broadband infrastructure in city locations is the larger potential customer base.

Lack of high-speed Internet access in rural areas does not affect the level of enjoyment of online entertainment.

Governments around the world are not working with internet providers to improve the infrastructure in rural areas.

Building infrastructure capable of high-speed internet in rural areas is generally not challenging and costly.
