Should we be worried about digital divide why or why not

The term digital divide refers to the gap between people who have access to the digital world and information technology and people who have very limited access. It refers to inequality in a society for some people who have the knowledge and access to digital technology ( Internet, computer, cell phone, etc) and those who does not have it at all.

Should we be worried about it?

Of course, As famous economist Karl marks argued that inequality in a society would bring conflict between those who have and those who does not. As marks was referring to a capitalist society where unequal distribution of wealth occurs. but in this era of technology one can apply the same argument. The gap between those who have access to information technology and those who does not, will bring conflict and hatred in a society.

The technology world is growing rapidly and those who doesn't have acess to it and does not have the knowledge to use it, can not compete with class of society that has it. the competetion is based on economical, political and social bases. As those who have access to technology can produce more, sell the goods on high values and would be aware of market regulations.

Today the development and progress of the society is based on information and technology. The more people have access to it the more society will grow, stronger, better, and socially more aware of its environment. We have to strive more in order to eliminate this digital gap in our society.
