prăpastia digitală

Digital Divide refers to the social and economic differences<br />between communities that have access or not to computers and Internet.
Example sentences:
Termenul „digital divide“ a fost folosit foarte mult in ultimii ani, cel mai adesea intr-un context sociologic. Evident, intr-o anumita societate - de exemplu intr-o tara precum Romania - accesul la tehnologiile informatice este inegal. Pe de-o parte sunt cei care au, iar pe de alta cei care n-au - „have and havenot“. Nu trebuie sa fii sociolog ca sa constati ca accesul la computere depinde intr-o mare masura de statutul social si de nivelul veniturilor, ca este mult mai ridicat la oras decat in mediul rural si ca varsta are un cuvant greu de spus.
