Explanation:

The Digital Divide in Social science, is a focus study adressing disparities arising due to the differing amount of information between those who have access to the Internet and digital technologies and those who do not have access. The discussion arose in the late 1990s.

In an international setting, certain countries are far more equipped than other developing countries to exploit the advantages from increasingly services related to Internet.

The issues arise as societies with connecitvity to Internet become more democratic and participate in their social life, and other societies lack access to information which contributes to social and economic conditions.
