The Digital Divide is the spectrum which shows how, whilst IT technology has brought immense benefit, has left many of the most vulnerable without any assistance. It is in essence the same as the division of wealth (1st world countries, 3rd world divide). It is more specialised than money as it only involves the shared use of IT systems among the human population, which necessitates the use of infrastructure, education and other factors to be effective.
IT provides immense benefits to those it is provided to, by allowing access to communications, information, assistance and more efficient work practices, which is by no means a small boost, it is one of the most advancing abilities that can be provided.
