Which term is the gap between people with digital access and those without?

• A. Digital Divide
• B. Echo Chamber
• C. Filter Bubble
• D. Infotainment

Answer: (A)

The digital divide refers to the gap between people who have reliable access to digital technologies, including high‑speed internet and devices, and those who do not. This disparity creates different opportunities for learning, work, healthcare, and civic participation because access shapes what information someone can reach and which services they can use. For example, students without home internet or devices may fall behind in online classes, job seekers may miss online applications, and communities without broadband can have limited access to telemedicine or government services. The other terms describe different ideas: an echo chamber is about reinforcing existing beliefs through like-minded networks, a filter bubble is about algorithms curating what you see, and infotainment blends entertainment with information. None of these capture the concrete access gap that the digital divide denotes.
