Education
Education is a factor that contributes to why the digital divide has happened. The lack of education people have means that people don’t have the skills they need to operate and run technology. They also lack the skills to use the internet because the dont have access to it so they cannot learn how to use it. This is a big disadvantage because when new technology is released that means they have more skills to learn and more technology to learn causing the gap in their abilities and skills to widen. Also not having technology in places like African and Asian schools makes life harder for the students than in the United Kingdom because the internet has websites like www.wikipedia.com which is basically a massive online library which means more and developed up to date information than in old text books. The digital divide prevents access to knowledge needed for education and school which is the main reason for schools. however in countries such as afganistan children have to risk getting shot of murdered on the way to school because they live in the middle of a war.
