The digital divide is the gap in social and economic equality that occurs when some segments of a given population do not have equal access to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and reliable high-speed Internet service.
Techopedia Explains Digital Divide
The use of computers and the Internet as a utility (and not a luxury) creates a division in society that favors those people who are able to use digital technology to improve their education and employment possibilities – and those who cannot. In response, the governments in many countries are working with private industry to establish educational and economic development initiatives that will bridge the digital divide.
