narrows digital divide. Digital divide
will create separation in societies
and generations as well. There will
be connected and disconnected
people in the process and the
disconnected ones have no idea

obviously create friction because
when you grow up seeing your rich
friend with more access to
information in a digital manner you
will be unhappy. This will lead to a
breakdown in collaboration
between the two sides due to the
digital divide.
