The term 'digital divide' refers to the gap between individuals or communities that have access to information and communication technologies (ICT) and those that do not. This disparity can arise from economic, geographic, or educational factors, leading to unequal opportunities in education, job prospects, and access to services. Bridging the digital divide is essential for promoting social and economic equality, as it enables broader participation in an increasingly digital society. Efforts to address this divide focus on improving access to affordable technology and internet connectivity.
