Social (Causes)
Another cause which plays a huge factor in the digital divide is social, the way in which people live their daily lives influences on how the act towards the use of technology. An example of this would be some groups of friends may all have a bunch of different technological devices meaning the people who they would hangout is with are ones who they can relate to most whereas other social groups may like it old school and be the type who use less technology and get out there in the world. If these two groups were to gain new friends the people joining would be ones who go along with the crowd to fit in causing quite a big divide between people using lots of technological devices such as laptops, phones etc. and the ones who don’t. Some girls may be socially used to not using any technology at all or very little as this relates to their ethnic background which is a type of social divide. old people may be afraid to use the different types of technology the world provides for us today as they really aren't use to it.
