- It was an idea born in those far-off days of the Internet bubble: the worry that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies, people in the poor world would be left stranded on the wrong side of a “digital divide”. What makes a country economically rich is when they high income/profitable based companies within them. Most of these companies are technology related which gives people living in the country a better chance to gaining access to technology. Also the government in these poor countries does set up alternatives for people who can't gain access to technology by setting up libraries with computers or even Internet cafes. This means that nearly everyone in the country does have at least minimal access to technology on the contrary to the economical factor not stopping them from using the latest technology. Also the companies within these countries mostly sell inside their own country and if there was a poor country willing to acquire technology then they would have to pay shipping costs to bring them over giving them a higher count of disadvantages.
