The Knowledge Gap
Captions available
The idea
The knowledge gap is the digital divide's effect: unequal technology access denies some people marketable skills and information others gain freely.
In practice
A student without home internet cannot practice research skills a classmate develops daily, widening a gap that outlasts the original access problem.
Where people slip
The knowledge gap describes an access-driven skill deficit, not a claim about individual capability.
