Discussion: Reducing the divide

The advantages of bridging the gap in the global digital divide is that, more and more people will be able to access the internet, less and less people will be illiterate because technology can be used to help people learn to read and write. Also there will be a lot more jobs for people in the worlds due to the internet, telecoms ect. The advantages for the poorest nations are that they will get more money, there will be more jobs available and the country will earn more money due to this. Clinton was incorrect, matching internet and telephone levels will not help to reduce income equality because there will be a higher rate of income equality because there is more communications available to the people in the world. Charities such as computer aid do better than harm because they are collecting money to help buy computers for people all over the world to help them with illiterately, the computers mostly go to countries that are less economically developed.
