š The Digital Divide: Are We Closing the GapāOr Widening It?
As technology accelerates, so does the risk of leaving people behind. While some enjoy high-speed internet, digital tools, and AI-powered platforms, others still lack reliable access, digital literacy, or even basic connectivity.
š The question is: Are we bridging the digital divideāor unintentionally making it worse?
š Progress weāve made:
Ā More investment in rural broadband
Ā Growth in mobile access and digital learning tools
Ā Global awareness of tech inequality
ā ļø But challenges remain:
Ā Connectivity gaps in underserved communities
Ā Limited digital skills and access to devices
Ā AI and emerging tech risk deepening disparities
š§ Closing the gap isnāt just about accessāitās about inclusion, opportunity, and empowerment.
š¬ What are you seeing in your work or region? Are we moving in the right direction?
