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.
