ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Digital divide

The digital divide is about the differences in opportunities people have to use the internet and digital technology. It's about people who have access to computers and the internet for things like school, work and communication, and those who don't. The people who don't have this access may miss out on important education and job opportunities. Digital divides exist all over the world, between different age groups, gender, race, income level and more. Bridging the digital divide means finding ways to make sure everyone has equal access to the internet and digital technologies.
