However, Digital divide technology is quite difficult to adapt in rural areas as people there tend to have lower incomes thus very few people have basic access to internet just at home]]> 2021-01-31 04:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144499434 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144501257 - digital divide can have an impact on the level of education as well as ecommerce which as a result creates a greater divide. 
- start-ups in developed countries have more chances of surviving than those in developing countries due to access of advanced technology that helps them reach their target market globally -> increased profit -> can afford to invest in higher technology.
- firms in developed countries use information from the internet to aid the establishment of their company. 
- firms in developed countries have better quality of output than those in developing countries due to the difference in their level of technology. 
- developed countries have a higher standard of living due to higher quality of output produced using established technology. 
- An increased level of experience when using technology
may lead to a better lifestyle for those who can afford high
performance technologies.]]> 2021-01-31 04:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144501257 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144502987 The parts of the world that have greater access to modern technology are the USA, Europe and northern Asia. These areas mostly consist of developed countries Areas, where access is more restricted, are in some parts of Africa, India and South Asia. 
These are areas that consist of countries that are less industrially developed. This is possible because the less developed countries are having to use their financial resources to provide more important t services and do not have the funds available to concentrate on the development of their technology services.]]> 2021-01-31 04:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144502987 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144503213 People in low-income areas and inadequate access to technology are hindered from learning tech skills that have become crucial in today's world.

some countries may have lower-performance computers and may have difficulty in obtaining technical assistance, this means that it is hard for people in less developed areas to maintain a stable internet access compared t well developed areas which have very high performing machines which are able to maintain a stable and fast, moreover they have more access to technical assistance as the people who give the assistance prefer to live close to the well developed areas]]> 2021-01-31 04:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144505343 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144506798 2021-01-31 04:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144506798 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144508629 The digital divide typically exists between those in cities and those in rural areas; between the educated and the uneducated; between socioeconomic groups; and, globally, between the more and less industrially developed nations. Even among populations with some access to technology, the digital divide can be evident in the form of lower-performance computers, lower-speed wireless connections, lower-priced connections such as dial-up, and limited access to subscription-based content.

More industrially developed nations have more higher-performance computers while less industrially developed nations would have lower performance computers due to their price.]]> 2021-01-31 04:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144508883 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144513217 Individuals hailing from low-income families are much limited to the access to information that is crucial in advancing their education and coming up with innovative ideas since they can’t afford connectivity to the web. As such, most students from underdeveloped countries will only do programs that are theoretical and don’t involve intensive researches. Limitation by the range of information available to such students is discouraging, and often they will either avoid pursuing involving courses, or if they register, the performance is poor.]]> 2021-01-31 04:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144513217 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144515031 Fortunately, there are many regions around the world that now have the infrastructure necessary for high-speed Internet.

However, even within a region that is well connected to the Internet, we still find differences in which households have access to computers and the Internet. Those differences are often due to socioeconomic factors.]]> 2021-01-31 04:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144515031 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144527611 Digital divide can also occur between people who have strong and those who have lower performing devices. This is because people who have money are able to buy mobile devices having high performance capability hence having a better experience than those who cannot buy devices with better technologies. ]]> 2021-01-31 05:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Didi/wish/1144527611
