The digital divide is a serious issue, and some countries are on the wrong side of it, such as Guinea chad and Niger.. This is because there is a large infrastructure problem in those countries, where the necessary phone and electricity lines are missing to provide the necessary power and internet to those countries for them to power and connect their Internet devices to the internet. This creates a serious problem, as it means limited few have access to the internet, and with more and more vital services (such as booking, job searching and information) being on the internet, it creates a divide between those who can access the resources, and those who can not.
Unfortunately,this divide also affects wealth, as many wealthy people can pay to have the necessary infrastructure built, but the poor can not, and as the internet can create more wealth this widens the gap between the rich and the poor in those countries. To fix t6he issue of the digital divide, public computer and internet resources must be made available, and the necessary power and telephone lines built to allow and citizens to pay for a private line, or the divide will get larger and larger.
