The application and popularization of digital technology needs the support of talents, so it is necessary to strengthen the education and training of digital technology. Governments should increase investment in digital technology education and training, and improve people's digital technology level and application ability through various channels and ways, including school education, vocational training and online education.
The application and popularization of digital technology need good infrastructure support, so it is necessary to strengthen the construction of digital infrastructure. Governments should increase investment in digital infrastructure construction, including the construction and maintenance of networks, computers, mobile phones and other equipment, so as to provide a strong guarantee for the application and popularization of digital technology.
The status quo of digital divide:
The existence of digital divide is a global problem, and there are obvious differences in the popularization and application of digital technology in different countries and regions. According to the United Nations Digital Development Report, there are still more than 360 million people in the world who do not have access to the Internet, mainly in some poor countries and regions in Africa and Asia.
In areas with Internet access, there are also differences in the application and use of digital technology, which is mainly caused by the different levels of economic, cultural and educational development in different places.
Among the different aspects of the digital divide, the most obvious is the popularization of digital technology. According to the data of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the global Internet penetration rate was 53.6% in 20 19, but in some poor countries and regions in Africa and Asia, the Internet penetration rate was only 18% and 28%.
