🆕The digital divide can exacerbate social and economic inequalities.

The digital divide refers to the gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not. This divide can exacerbate social and economic inequalities, as those with access to technology have more opportunities for education, employment, and social mobility. According to a study by the Pew Research Center, 77% of low-income families do not have access to a computer or internet at home.
