| dc.description.abstract | The role of technology in our daily lives is increasing exponentially. This is evident in the diverse range of individuals who are now required to interact with computers, including university professors, kindergarten children, farmers, and nuclear scientists. The efforts of public institutions, politicians, and policymakers to address this issue have been insufficient. The accelerated developments in information and communication technologies have rendered it challenging for a considerable number of individuals to engage with these technologies in a manner that is both democratic and meaningful. This study addresses the digital divide issue in the context of technological determinism, examining the influence of various factors on the digital divide in the context of technological determinism. These factors include age, gender, digital abilities, race/ethnicity, and language. © 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved. | |
