Digital fluency is critical to a healthy life, education, and access to the workforce.
The Digital Divide represents a significant gap between individuals and communities that have access to essential technology resources—such as high-speed internet, devices (computers, smartphones, tablets), and digital literacy skills—and those who do not.
This divide disproportionately impacts underserved and marginalized populations, including low-income households, rural areas, communities of color, and seniors. As our world becomes increasingly digital, closing this gap is crucial to ensuring everyone has fair access to education, employment, healthcare, and other vital services necessary to thrive in today’s tech-driven society.
