The Digital Divide
Captions available
The idea
The digital divide is unequal technology access separating people by income, geography, age, and race, shaping who can participate in society.
In practice
A rural household without broadband and an urban one with fiber face different online costs, from banking to schoolwork.
Where people slip
The divide is a gap in access, not interest or ability; treating it as personal failing misreads its cause.
