   A term used to describe the technological
    gap between the "haves" and "have nots."
    Race, gender, class, and geography are some
    of the demographic factors influencing
    technological access and achievement.
   Often used as an extended synonym for information
    technology (IT), but is usually a more general term
    that stresses the role of unified communications and
    the integration of telecommunications (telephone
    lines and wireless signals), computers, middleware as
    well as necessary software, storage- and audio-visual
    systems, which enable users to create, access, store,
    transmit, and manipulate information. In other words,
    ICT consists of IT as well as telecommunication,
    broadcast media, all types of audio and video
    processing and transmission and network based
    control and monitoring functions.
   Since gender, age, racial, income, and
    educational gaps in the digital divide have
    lessened compared to past levels, some
    researchers suggest that the digital divide is
    shifting from a gap in access and connectivity to
    ICTs to a knowledge divide. A knowledge divide
    concerning technology presents the possibility
    that the gap has moved beyond access and
    having the resources to connect to ICTs to
    interpreting and understanding information
    presented once connected
   A telecentre is a public place where people
    can access computers, the Internet, and other
    digital technologies that enable them to
    gather information, create, learn, and
    communicate with others while they develop
    essential digital skills.
