Democratization of technology

Democratization of technology means making technology accessible to everyone, no matter who they are or where they live. Imagine if you and your friends wanted to play with some toys, but one kid had all the toys and wouldn't share. That's not fair, right? The same thing happens with technology. It used to be that only certain people could use technology, because it was too expensive or too hard to learn. But now, people are working hard to make technology easier and cheaper so that everyone can use it. This is important, because technology can help people solve problems, learn new things, and communicate with others all around the world. So, like when you share your toys with your friends, it's important to share technology with everyone so that everyone can benefit.
