Microsoft MCSA Certifications Exam 70-292

The digital divide is the term used to refer to the gap between those who have access to the Internet and its associated 70-271 technologies and services, and those who do not. Although not specifically about the gap between rich and poor countries – a digital divide can exist within a country between urban and rural areas, for example, or between socio-economic groups – the term is frequently used to refer to the access gap between developed and developing countries.

As Table 1 indicates, the gap is striking, and Internet penetration rates are closely connected to the wealth of 70-290 a country. Such numbers matter for at least two reasons. First, because in today’s global economy, lack of access to the Internet means lack of access to world markets. The digital divide between rich and poor countries prevents the latter from selling their products on a global scale, and restricts the choice of services and goods available.

In addition, the digital divide is important because the lack of computers and Internet sites in poor countries means that these countries have only a limited presence on one the most important (and certainly 70-292 most dispersed) forms of media ever invented. Thus the digital divide is limiting cultural and regional diversity on the Internet.
