What is the Digital Divide?

Digital divide is a gap between people who have access to the technology (computers) and Internet. This problem concerns all people in developed countries or in developing countries. Indeed, in developed countries, some people do not have any Internet connection because of the cost or the place where they live (in countryside for example).
As the European Commission established, we think that to have an Internet access can be possible for everyone.

Developed countries
For that reason, government should give some subventions in order to give computers, training etc... Moreover, in some countries as Sweden or Finland, it is possible to find in public area (railway station) some computers in self service. Computers are available for free but customers have to pay for the Internet connection.

Basically, people in Scandinavia chose themselves the place for living in the forest and further suburbs. According to this reason it is not necessary to make restriction to provide internet connection everywhere. Or not high spead connection, we think that this investition is to big and more and less useless.

Developing countries

Technology and Internet connection are not spread as well as in developed countries. For example, as humanitarian organization send some equipment like screens.
