The digital divide

Digital divide : Def. gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not I do have access to a digital device and wifi. Using technology nowadays is very help like if you didn't understand what you teacher thought you you can search it up. And it's very easy to access since we have our own phones.
