Impact of the Digital Divide - Social
There is a potential for social conflict in communities where some are wealthy and have computers, and Internet access, while others are poor and have no ICT equipment.

Social opportunities arise with the use of ICT such as...

  • use of chat rooms to keep in touch with other people or make new friends.
  • access to a wider range of job opportunities by looking on the Internet.
  • participate in on-line social activities. Eg. Games playing.
  • learn about other religions or ethnic groups.
