2 Digital Divide The term used for the gap between demographics and regions that have access to modern information and communications technology, and those that do not include the telephone, television, personal computers and social media or the internet. Also known as the type of technology that do not need to be posted or commented on but rather has a social impact, human impact and knowledge capital impact.

A Socio-economic Divide A Divide in infrastructure A Divide in Content A Gender Divide A Skills Divide The Universal Access Divide

4 Three Main Topics Social Capital: the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively. Human Capital: the skills, knowledge, and experience possessed by an individual or population, viewed in terms of their value or cost to an organization or country. Knowledge capital: the tangible asset represents valuable ideas, methods, processes and other intuitive talents that belong to a company.

5 Socio-Economic Divide
An economic and socio-logical combined total measure of a persons work experience. Social Capital Impact: a persons position in a business determines they status in a community as the community determines how they live in every day life situation only seeing that if one lives in a poor or wealthy society. Human Capital Impact: The collective data of social networks, how social networks impact the community . The first issue of the ability to access in general, data and information is critical. Knowledge Capital Impact: Socio-economic factors, but like the gap between developed countries and developing countries, relevant due to the use of the internet and seeing that a wide range of pupils are using the internet.

6 Correlation between divide and social capital
Divide is about having access to internet and technology, social capital is how people use the internet. The role of social capital in narrowing the digital divides has been frequently mentioned and examined how various types of social capital may affect people's access and use of the Internet.

7 Relationship between divide and knowledge
Divide is about how the society uses the internet. Knowledge is how well they know the site that is being used and this has a relationship because without the knowledge of technology the person using the site will not know how to access the internet.

8 Correlation between divide and human capital
Human Capital refers to the knowledge, skill sets and motivation that people have, which provide economic value. Human capital realizes that not everyone has the same skill sets or knowledge and that quality of work can be improved by investing in people's education. Human capital is directly related to economic growth. The relationship can be measured by how much is invested into people's educations.

9 How Can The Government Assist
The government will make sure that all families will be provided with low- income if they own a personal computer. The government’s latest attempt to bridge the digital divide between those with access to technology and those without. If the government focuses on young people it will also help as they do not have much knowledge about digital divide. Getting the young generation online early means they will never go back, and they can also be used as an educational tool by their parents. The government has invested money in schools since 1997 for children that have Information Technology interests.
