Although technological development is on the increase, the actual global digital divide is “huge” (Dutton, 2004). Individuals within poorer countries don't even have a computer let alone the Internet, the way that they learn is through traditional classroom educational techniques which doesn't involve the input of digital technology. Shockingly only 10% “of the worlds population was on the Internet in 2002” (Dutton, 2004) this means then that these children are further behind than the unknowing “digital immigrant,” simply because they have no access to even a computer.
