There are a number of reasons why this gap exists. Obtaining access to ICTs and using them actively has been linked to a number of demographic and socio-economic characteristics: among them income, education, race, gender, geographic location (urban-rural), age, skills, awareness, political, cultural and psychological attitudes.

Closing this existing digital gap may improve literacy, democracy, social mobility, economic equality and economic growth.
