at home easier and faster in

Digital Divide
(DD)

 Are all members in the family having skills in digital


manipulation? How your parent does enroll you in the school this
year? In what way, you communicate your family and friends afar
from you? Some of you may answers differently like not all
members have the ability to use technology while other family
members can, some experience enrolling via online while others
went to their respective barangay to get the enrolment forms and
lastly, others may be through letters or basic phone call while
other can have video call as a form of communication. These are
simple scenarios that we experience of what we called digital
divide.
Digital Divide
(DD)
 Digital divide pertains to the social and
economic imbalance of the opportunities
to access to, use of or knowledge of
information and communication
technology (ICTs). It is referring to a gap
between sector in the community who
can access, has the skills and has desire
to the internet and those who cannot.
The unequal opportunity of the internet
acquisition is caused by the diff erences
of skills, motivations and preferences of
use based on category such as personal
category (gender, age, race/ethnicity,
personality, intelligence and Health),
positional category (education,
occupation, household and nation) and
the resources category (economic, social
and cultural capital) status of a person.
Digital Divide
(DD)
 The divides arise due to
lack of knowledge on how
to manipulate the
technology and
understanding of its
benefits as well and some
cannot afford to access
because the income is low.

by:
