It notes the history and future of ICT and the digital divide, or gap in access and skills related to ICT between developed and developing countries. Within countries, there are also unequal opportunities for ICT use. Advancements in ICT can positively impact government websites, online voting, conveying programs online, and productivity through computers, but may also have negative effects on areas like citizen participation, education, privacy and security.
