Narrowing the digital divide will not be an easy task. It’s going to take years of funding, cooperation, and work to help just one country update their technology. On a global scale, it could take decades. However, this isn’t something that should be cast aside so quickly. If we were to shut out more than half of the world from technology – and thus, information – we would progress as a society much slower. Giving everyone the tools for opportunity will ultimately benefit us all.
