ECONOMICAL FACTOR
This is one of the main factors that contributes to the digital divide, because without money you cannot buy the latest technology. Most MEDC’s will have access to the latest technology compared to the LEDC’s.
Most LEDC’s will not have the financial ability to fund the purchases of of the latest technology. Many of these countries would prefer to opt out and buy older generation technology which may already have been used by people from MEDC’s and then have been put into recycling. This is because these countries find it hard to keep up with latest technology because of their low financial budget. Having a low budget also means that these countries cannot build an a it infrastructure where they may have wifi available in the majority of regions in the country. Budget also affects a country ability to educate people on how to use the latest technology unlike here in britain we have services such as barclays digital eagles who can teach people how to use technology. Even if you are living in MEDC a person must have their own financial power to buy the latest technology because they may be on a low salary or even have many dependants that there isn't enough any spare money. However this is only a minority in MEDC’s. Most of these countries will have a lot of jobs and people will be working which will be the source for them to be able to buy the latest technology.
