What is the digital divide and why?

The World Wide Web is the largest repository of human knowledge in the world today. Through the Internet, people are constantly enriching this knowledge base and can use it for their various needs. But the unfortunate thing is that the benefits of using this vast wealth of knowledge around the world are limited to a lucky few. As of 2003, only 7% of the world's 6.4 billion people have access to the Internet. Rest of the population is deprived of this internet. The Internet will be fully worthwhile only when its benefits reach the majority of people in the world.

The digital divide is a multifaceted problem. Hence experts from different perspectives have identified it in different ways. In this age of information and communication technology, the digital divide is defined based on the use of the Internet. In general, it can be said that the digital divide. A gap between an individual or a community created by access to the Internet, access to knowledge, and limited access to online resources. Therefore, the criteria for digital divide are:


1. Computer usage facility

2. Internet facilities and

3. Practical knowledge.


Digital Divide in Bangladesh:

Most people in Bangladesh live below the poverty line. That's why Bangladesh is far behind the developed countries of the world in terms of information and communication technology. There is no exact figure on the percentage of people using the internet in this country but it can be said that it is close to 2% of the total population. It is doubtful whether even 5 percent of the people in the cities of Bangladesh use the Internet. This is an old statistic but it is changing very rapidly in the present time. That would be 90% of the estimated total population at present. One of the reasons behind the creation of digital divide in Bangladesh is that the physical infrastructure for using ICT in this country is very weak. Adequate in information and communication technology

Due to lack of hardware and software, ordinary people do not get the benefits of internet that citizens of developed countries get. of the country

The infrastructure required for common people to use the internet is missing here.

What are the things to consider when buying a WiFi or broadband router for home, office, park and restaurant ?

I always like very shortly introduce any-things to my viewers without any-type boring .So let's began the leanrning :- 1. Decide in advance how many devices you will use. 2. Decide how much space you need coverage. 3. Understand the structure of your home. WiFi signals become weak to penetrate the walls. That is why good coverage is not available. If you have a lot of walls in your house and you want to get coverage in the whole house, then you need a router with high power and wall penetration feature. 4. Decide what features you need in addition to the internet connection. Such as: - 4.1 3G 4G Modem Support- There are many routers that can use the modem. Those routers have a USB port and a one port so that broadband lines can be used. But remember that the modem must have the ability to auto-connect. Not...

What should the processor look at?

The things that we all should keep an eye on are the processor or not; 1. Clock speed 2. Number of course 3. cache memory 4. FBS 1. Clock Speed: It is also called GH2. All processors are written on. Clock speed means how fast your computer can work. That's what this signal means. The speed of the processor is known through this clock speed, how fast the calculation can be done. 2. Number of Cores: The more cores the processor has, the faster the processor can work. If I give an example to explain the matter, I hope you can understand it very easily. Suppose if a person had many hands, then he could do many things at the same time. That is, if we go to the market and buy a smartphone, then we will see what the configurations of the phone are. If we look closely at the configuration of the smartphone, we will see that Dual Core Processor, Quad Core Processor, Octa core processor, Hexa core processor, Deca core processor. This means that the dual core processor has two arms or cores, ...

What is transmission media? Introduction to different types of data transmission cables

Transmission media: When a PC communicates or wants to communicate with another PC, it has to take the help of some transmission media. The most commonly used media in the network are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable. Nowadays, the use of optical fiber is increasing greatly. Radio wave, microwave and infrared technologies are prominent among wireless media. Among these mediums, optical fiber has the highest data transfer speed. The type of medium used in a network depends on the type and location of that network. The connection system for exchanging information between the sender and the remote receiving end is called a channel. The means or methods used to implement the channel are called media. such as-- (i) Cable or wire. (ii) Common telephone lines. (ii) Radio waves. (iv) Microwave. (v) Geo-satellite systems etc. Cable or Wire: Cable is an important medium in data communication. Cables are generally used for data transfer over short range networking such as LAN...
