Digital Divide: Have’s and Have Not’s2020 •
In the era of internet age each individual has an ample opportunity to access the information. But, the researchers had found inequalities in accessing the internet in terms of access of the devices, skills and tangible outcomes. This research had been carried out to elaborate the concept of the digital divide along with its different levels. It discusses on social and economic development opportunities because the digital divide is evolving from those have access, to use, to outcomes. Some people can use computers, mobile devices, the Internet, and other information and communication technologies (ICTs) and get benefitted from it. The present research will be giving the holistic view of digital divide which will help the researchers to understand the digital divide and encourage them to study on digital divide with respect to the different levels in developed and developing countries.
Battleground: The media
The digital divide2007 •
Many have argued that inequalities of access to the Internet in an information-driven society pose a serious social problem and that public investment is needed to solve it. Others contend that the digital divide is a minor concern that will resolve itself without government involvement and spending. The positions we take on this debate depend upon our understanding of how new technologies spread throughout society, whether we think Internet access is a frill or a necessity, and our vision of whether government can and ought to help broaden access.
There is a global discussion (Pearson, 2002; BBC Special Report, 1999; World Telecommunication Development Report, 2002) concerning on the issue of the haves and have-nots. Most research on the subject (Bolt & Crawford, 2000; Mack, 2001; Pearson, 2002) has covered what has come to be known as the "digital divide", or the separation between those who have access to, and can effectively use technology, and those who do not. Despite the sharp rise in telecommunication access in the developing nations, the global digital divide is getting wider (World Telecommunication Development Report, 2002). Providing public access to the Internet gives definite groups the opportunity to advance by providing them with technical skills which are needed to compete in the digital economy (Pearson, 2002). Those who have access to technology are being afforded more opportunities than ever before, but one must also think about what happens to those being left behind. One should also ask how big the growing gap between the information rich and information poor is, why is it so hard to close, and how are individuals and communities around the globe trying to bridge the digital divide.

Redefining the Digital Divide: Beyond Access to Computers and the Internet2007 •
"This chapter explores the global dimension of the Digital Divide. It frames the concept and maps the status and the causes of the phenomenon today. The first part investigates how the Digital Divide can be measured, framing the question and some of the trends foreseen by scholars on the phenomenon. The second part provides the current status of the Digital Divide, mapping the distribution of the usage of the Internet worldwide with some national indicators and measuring how economic factors cause some of the digital inequalities. The chapter then maps the worldwide unequal distribution of some of the infrastructure of the Internet. By comparing the different measures of the Digital Divide, the chapter finally provides some conclusions on the expectations regarding the trend of the phenomenon."
