Digital Divide
The Digital Divide refers to any inequalities between groups, broadly construed, in terms of access to, use of, or knowledge of information and communication technologies (ICT). The divide inside countries (such as the digital divide in the United States) can refer to inequalities between individuals, households, businesses, and geographic areas at different socioeconomic and other demographic levels, while the Global digital divide designates countries as the units of analysis and examines the divide between developing and developed countries on an international scale.
The impact of the Digital Divide is massive, it affects every county around the world, the impact of the divide is daunting as a large amount of people have witnessed, not being able o access or use such technology can make a person become an outcast of society in today’s life, the impact on their lives is massive, so if any student who's country is well developed might find it hard to study in other countries due to digital divide.
