​As stated before, there is a huge gap between technology advanced countries, and those who lag behind, known as the Digital Divide. This divide is staggering, seeing as how more than half of the world is still living without running water, or electricity. The fact is that this trend is completely unacceptable, and entirely reversible. One way to reconcile is through programs such as the Hole in the Wall in India, in which free public computers are set up in impoverished communities where the citizens can have free, uninterrupted access to the internet, and therefore the outside world. Another suggestion would be to have techno-savvy countries such as USA and Canada donate the millions of unused, but full functional computers and technological devices to the governments of impoverished nations for them to be distributed into the homes of the citizens so that the education will be continuous. I would like to think that in 50-100 years, the whole world would be on the same level of free information, but the truth of matter is that it will never be that way. In the hundreds of years that society that has been up, and self sufficient, no two societies have been completely alike in how education and information is distributed. So it goes without question that the digital divide would be no different. Some changes can and are being made to help close the gap, but chances are that the divide will never fully close.
