Energy Storage Technologies & Their Role in Renewable Integration
To reduce the impact of the digital divide there are several things to implement, in broad terms it is necessary:
• Have computer and Internet access: People need affordable and reliable computers and broadband Internet access.
• Be digitally literate: people need to understand digital technologies and how to use them effectively to achieve their educational, economic, civic, and social goals.
Education has become increasingly dependent on the Internet and digital formats - especially higher education, though high, It was an inevitable evolution
Internet bring new means of communication such as social networks or email. those who do not access it are sidelined and not taking advantage of these benefits to open to the world. 82% of the world's online population of 1.2 billion users now use social networks.
The Internet is rapidly becoming a primary medium for communications, commerce, entertainment and finding jobs. Future economic, community participation and political advancement for these disadvantaged groups may depend on access to computers, the Internet and broadband technology. Information on government services, health and education are also increasingly going online.
ICT has beneficial effects on economic development, nowadays ICT becomes increasingly strong determinant of growth, including the use of the Internet. If breaking digital persists, the development gap between the North and the South may get bigger.
ICT, new keys to the information society, open broad opportunities in the areas of management, commerce, education and governance. So it seems that they can contribute to the development of disadvantaged regions.
The lack of skills remains a major problem because technologies become increasingly sophisticated and some countries lack the technical and economic capacities. That threatens economic growth and social development.
