Topic: The Digital Divide and Illiteracy
In the 21st century, the rapid advancement of technology has transformed the way societies function, communicate, and access information. The digital revolution has brought numerous benefits, but it has also unveiled a pressing issue known as the "digital divide." This divide is exacerbated by the persistence of illiteracy, creating a complex challenge that requires immediate attention.
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, access to information, communication, and opportunities is largely dependent on digital literacy and access to technology. However, the persistent issue of illiteracy further exacerbates the digital divide, creating a stark contrast between those who are equipped to navigate the digital realm and those left behind.
