What do you think of the Digital Divide in poorer countries?
And how do you think the digital Divide can changed in the poorer countries?
Answer:
The digital divide hinders the access of millions to tools like the Internet, tools that can enrich their lives by learning new stuff. As people can't access those knowledge tools, the country cannot muster an educated or skilled workforce, thus hindering the development of competitive products that could be exported bringing hard cash into the country. A lack of knowledge provokes a loss to the economy.
In my opinion, the "digital divide" is only important in more developed countries. Truly poor nations are usually still at the farm & factory stage, and the welfare of their citizens depends more on growth in manufacturing coupled with either union movements or government intervention to keep wages up and working conditions reasonable.
Only when a country has a well developed economy with a strong demand for professionals and executives does widespread access to computers become relevant.
Divide: A serious disagreement between two groups of people (typically producing tension or hostility).

We have many problems with violence (caused by drugs, guns, lack of schools, poverty). But there is not 'DD'!
It's nonsense.
