Abstract

The digital divide has long been recognized as a significant issue, with access to technology and internet connectivity disproportionately distributed across regions and demographics. This paper explores the intersection of digital inequality and regional disparities, focusing on the challenges posed by connectivity gaps. It examines the causes and consequences of uneven access to digital resources, discusses current initiatives aimed at bridging the divide, and proposes strategies for policymakers, educators, and community leaders to address these disparities effectively.
