Digital divide

The digital divide is the inequality of the use and the access of information communication technology between different group which consist of age , geographically  and countries.

The digital divide is known as the global digital divide however this only uses countries as its main analysis, for example the global digital divide will compare countries such the USA to a country such as Uruguay.

Researchers have stated that although the digital divide has lessened in recent years , the digital divide has now apparently shifted to the knowledge divide , this means that it has shifted from people not having the access to technology but not having the knowledge to understand and how to use it.
