Countries with high gross domestic products (GDP) have booming economies therefore they can have a reasonable budget to invest in new technologies. However, poor countries with low gross domestic products (GDP) can’t afford investing in new technologies. As a result, citizens of poor countries can’t benefit for the blessings technology can offer like connecting with others a cross the globe, accessing and searching information online, playing online games and so on. Let us look Somalia as an example, it has 400 GDP per capita in U.S dollars. People living in Somalia can’t afford to purchase up to date and advanced technologies since their countries in come is low which means their in come is low as well. On the other hand, people living in countries like the Qatar, which has 132,900 GDP per capita U.S dollars, will probably have decent income that affords up to date and advanced technologies. So, citizens in Qatar can shop online, surf the internet, use social media and so on, but citizens of Somalia can’t or have restricted access to these privileges of technology these is why there is a digital divide a cross the globe.
