What are you going to do today? Perhaps you'll
email your friends, watch a DVD or listen to your
MP3 player. It's likely that sometime soon you're
going to surf the Net. Today, we take new
technology for granted, so you may be surprised
to learn that 50% of the people in the world have
still never even used a telephone!
There is a huge gap between those who have
access to new technology and those who don't. It
is called the 'Digital Divide'. The truth is that fewer
than 17% of the people in the world can actually
use the Internet.

To go online, you need a computer, the right
software, a phone line, a modem and a subscription
to an Internet service provider. These aren't
cheap and a lot of people, especially
in poor countries, just can't afford
them.
Then, there's the language
barrier. Four-fifths of all
websites are in
English

and many people around the world cannot even
read or write in their own language, let alone a
foreign language. If people can't read, it will be
hard to teach them how to use a computer.
The technology gap also exists simply because
many people do not understand how technology
can help them. They have an old-fashioned way of
thinking and cannot imagine the difference
technology will make to their lives.
Education is the key. Governments, IT
industries and educational institutions should
work together to educate people and train them
and at the same time introduce local languages
into computer usage. When we bridge the digital
divide, then everyone will have equal opportunities
and the power that technology brings.
