The influence on the increase of digital divide locally in the UK is due to the increase of living costs as essential products of life have become more expensive, thus many people are unable to afford access to the internet as prices of these services are constantly increasing. the impact of this on people is that if the prices of the latest technologies are soaring up then those who cannot cope due to their financial situation are heavily disadvantaged.this is because, as others are moving on and having more opportunities, those who are stuck with the old technological services are left behind picking up the pieces.
The digital divide is not just a divide globally but is witnessed among communities within countries as the wealthier have more access to technology. The extent of the divide locally will also increase unless equality laws are introduced as the rich are able to have a good education and end up having a good job. The extent of the divide globally will increase and increase until the rich countries decide to help the poor which is extremely unlikely. This will result in the world becoming more technologically and financially divided.
