                     1.   What is Digital Divide? Explain the impact of Digital Divide on the modern world.
                   Ans.   Digital divide is a term that refers to the gap between those who have access to the resources of modern
                         information and communications technology, and those that have restricted access.
                         Restricted access to ICT and difference in infrastructural settings of various places are a reason for the
                         same. Also insufficient access to knowledge and resources leads to this problem. This gap leads poor
                         economic growth and reduced spread of knowledge to the rural parts of a country. This in turn also affects
                         the students who do not get proper educational resources and information.
