As Wiki would express it that ..... Digital divide is the gap between demographics and regions that have access to modern information and communications technology, and those that don't or have restricted access. This technology can include the telephone, television, personal computers and the Internet. It is unfortunate that the "globalization theory" of the New Media assumes that all players, men and women, rich and poor, will be affected equally. Furthermore, it also assumes that international trade opportunities open up equally to small scale firms, infant industries and the giant transnational corporations and cartels.
However the seven
years of globalization indicate otherwise because international trade is also
to do with people's livelihoods and their most basic social and economic
rights. For millions of Africa's poorest people, trade is part of daily life,
and a crucial determinant of welfare. When a people's social and economic
rights and patterns are affected, their culture is overall affected too. Trade
which is built on the unacceptable levels of social inequities to vulnerable
communities and groups, or causes global ecological or environmental damage and
disregards our obligations to future generations is not conducive to
sustainable development.
