Preferred term

digital divide/digital capital  

Definition(s)

  • The digital divide is a term coined to refer to the gap between those who have access to computers, and those who do not. In the mid-1990s, the term sparked political concern, and President Bill Clinton formed incentives for large businesses and corporations to donate computers and other forms of technology to poorer communities and schools.
