Originally, internet access was one of the key factors of the digital divide. However, the digital divide has more to do with the individual’s demographical information like his/her computer skills, which enables him/her to cope with the current information age.

This section of my e-book will cover how these social factors have caused a digital divide locally (My home country, Qatar), regionally (Middle East) and globally.
