Digital Divide:hum. IK

Narrowed and Specific topic:
We chose to focus on children in Uganda who do not have effective access to today's technology like computers or television, which would otherwise help them to connect to the world.

Background Information:
Digital Divide is a term that people use to describe the gap between those who have effective access to computers, internet access etc. and those who have limited or no access at all. This can mean either not having a physical access to technology (eg: like being to poor to afford a computer or a mobile phone) or not having the knowledge or skills that a digital citizen requires to have (eg: like being someone that has a computer or a mobile phone BUT does not knows how to use it). In other words, it is the unequal access by some members of society to information and communications technology, and the unequal acquisition of related skills. It can also be classified into different categories such as **gender**, **income**, **race groups**, **age** or by **locations**. The term GLOBAL DIGITAL DIVIDE refers to the differences in technology access between countries or large regions of the world. Digital Divide HUM. I
