Wrong side of the divide
Some countries are on the wrong side of the digital divide due to many factors, such as. they do not have sufficient funds in order to catch up with the technology the rest of the world now have. They have to put their money into housing and food before things such as the digital world. Also, for some coutnries they can survive without, unlike man y countries who are just greedy and are never happy and continue to improve things. So the matter of their countries economy not being developed enough can be a reason for them being on the wrong side of the digital divide. Also, the countries that are on the wrong side tend to be countries that are very small and do not have a massive population and stricken with poverty. Also, such countries do not have great electricity supply and this is necessary in order to run the majority of current technology. Although to a certain degree techinology may help these countries it isnt a necessaity and they are fine sitting on the other side of the divide for the moment and even if they transfer over to the other side they will never be able to keep up with the ever growing and improving technology in todays informtaion age.
