Digital divide in education and example of bridging

Though the internet is known and using as the one of best education method, lots of people doesn’t really use internet for education in poor countries either in the country sides. As a result, MIT developed $100 Laptop to bridge digital divides and other organizations started to help out to bridge it.

For one Example; the Magic Johnson Foundation and the HP Inventor Center has chosen the Florida Digital Divide Council to assist in bridging the digital divide. The Florida Digital Divide Council was established by Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Legislature in 2001. The council was intended to ensure that residents have frequent access to information technology so that they can obtain proper knowledge to qualify for high-waged employment. The world is technologically driven and these organizations intend to expand the reach of residents in under-served communities by exposing them to technological skills that can improve their lives.
