Digital divide is “unequal access to digital technology, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and the internet.” Without technology most people are at a disadvantage compared to others for access to things like learning and shopping.
The people who are affected are usually the people who have less money and access to resources. For example ‘Europe has the highest percentage of the population online while Africa has the lowest. From 2010 to 2014 Europe went from 67% to 75% and in the same time span Africa went from 10% to 19%.”
