There are solutions to get rid of digital divide, for example:
providing refurbished computers and training skills necessary to connect with the rest of the world.
Teaching maintenance skills for sustainable development.
Providing low-cost accessible computers.
Making technological courses available for citizens.
Computer education for children before their adolescent years.
