Unraveling the Black Box: Demystifying Machine Learning for the Everyday User

By. Kenneth Camacho Introduction The digital divide is a global issue that refers to differences in access to technology, digital tools, and resources among different socioeconomic, geographic, and demographic groups. The digital divide can lead to unequal chances for education, employment, and social involvement, increasing already existing disparities. This blog post will look at how computer science can help to bridge the digital divide, with an emphasis on inclusive technology design, cheap access, and digital literacy programs. Design of Inclusive Technology A critical component of bridging the digital divide is making technology accessible and usable to all people, regardless of their ability, background, or resources. Computer scientists can help in this endeavour by: Prioritizing Universal Design Principles: Universal design principles encourage the creation of products and services that are intrinsically accessible to all users, including those with impairments.
