Digital Divide

"Digital Divide" refers to the gap between those who benefit from digital technology and those who do not http://www.digitaldivide.org/dd/digitaldivide.html it is concerned with, class,society,technology, and money issues in different countries/cultures.

It is said those in developed countries have more disposable income, and presumably, more of an involvment with technology. These are the people that the market caters for; those with no disposable income are ignored Digitaldivide.org. this shows that the digital divide is getting bigger not smaller
The socioeconomic gap,is widened because the lower classes are ignored,because they do not have a disposable income compared to the upper and middle classes who keep up to date with constantly evolving technology have. digitaldivide.org
