HOW DOES THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IMPACT ON SOCIAL CAPITAL

The digital divide is not just about having access to the internet and
technology; it is about how people utilize it. The digital divide is about
having access to construct social capital while obtaining the available
universal knowledge. Examples of digital divide included technological
literacy, quality of technology, and access. digital access can facilitate
reading skills, employment opportunities, orchestrate creativity, access
to college, and increase overall youth vitality. Without digital access
things becomes a bit difficult because an individual can not easily gain
knowledge and that makes the society not to develop.
