The benefits of the internet are evident, ranging from increased career and educational opportunities to socialization and lifestyle tools. As the pace of the internet accelerates, two issues have emerged:
1) the use of the new technologies
2) access to them.
The lack of access and therefore the usage of the technologies is known as the “digital divide.”
