In 2019, 51% of the world population had access to the Internet, however, this percentage is not evenly distributed in Europe, 8 out of 10 people have access, while in Africa, only 2 have this unequal distribution is called the digital divide and brings with it a series of very serious problems. some examples of these problems are the important Barrier to education or lack of communication and isolation of inhabitants in remote areas for these countries, therefore it is easy to enter a vicious circle in which the gap is getting larger because they don't have resources to decrease it. even so little by little each year the number of people who have access to both the internet and mobile phones increases.
there are countries that struggle to move at a higher speed to achieve a population with internet access a great example of this are the African countries There, more than any other part of the world, technology is gradually improving the lives of people, especially Through services and applications. in 2001 only 1% owned a mobile phone, it is expected that in the next five years more than 900 million people will join this figure, thus reaching 80% of the population with one of The biggest obstacles they face is the lack of electricity. The United States has reinforced its support in Africa regarding this problem.
This is a great initiative and a great example for all of what could be done. We can consider as possible solutions the new White Band television technologies since they can travel up to 10 km and therefore could be used to communicate with the most remote populations.
