Digital Divide: The Haves and the Have Nots

Technology has connected so many people across the globe and there is no questioning its impact.  But the fact is that the technology industry is a money making industry that is solely concerned with profits and not with empowering people.  There are still people and places that remain off grid mainly due to lack of resources.  This creates a digital gap between the haves and the have nots; between the people who can afford the latest device and the people who can't; between the countries or villages who have the infrastructure to connect to the rest of the world and the places that do not.  As stores, schools and businesses are housed in more digital space, people or communities who lack the necessary resources will get left behind.  This will enhance the other "gaps" in society: the opportunity gap, the educational gap, the resource gap and the economic gap.
