11. Digital divide, cyber bullying and
computer addiction are the common
problems that some people encountered.

12. Digital Divide (DD)
Are all members in the family having skills in digital
manipulation? How your parent does enroll you in the school this
year? In what way, you communicate your family and friends afar
from you?
Some of you may answers differently like not all members have
the ability to use technology while other family members can,
some experience enrolling via online while others went to their
respective barangay to get the enrolment forms and lastly, others
may be through letters or basic phone call while other can have
video call as a form of communication. These are simple scenarios
that we experience of what we called digital divide.

13. Digital Divide
- pertains to the social and economic imbalance of the opportunities
to access to, use of or knowledge of information and
communication technology (ICTs).
- It is referring to a gap between sector in the community who can
access, has the skills and has desire to the internet and those who
cannot.

14. Digital Divide
- The unequal opportunity of the internet acquisition is caused by
the differences of skills, motivations and preferences of use based
on category such as personal category (gender, age, race/ethnicity,
personality, intelligence and Health), positional category
(education, occupation, household and nation) and the resources
category (economic, social and cultural capital) status of a person.
- The divides arise due to lack of knowledge on how to manipulate
the technology and understanding of its benefits as well and some
cannot afford to access because the income is low.

15. We can able to overcome this phenomenon by:
1. lowering the cost of internet connection in the house
2. a law should be created to make all public places
should have free internet access set by the government.
3. the different LGUs and NGOs should conduct a forum
about the advantage of technology and how to use the
advance technology in rural areas.

technology by the schools and libraries.

6. Are you escaping meal or sleep late in using the internet?
