The Digital Divide
- Not all countries have the same access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) benefits due to economic, political, and social differences.
- The gap between countries that have advanced in ICT development (developed countries) and those that have not (developing countries) is known as the digital divide.
- Within large countries like India or Russia, there are differences in ICT access between urban areas (like cities) and rural areas (like villages).
- Some areas, especially metropolitan centers, have better connectivity and access to the digital world compared to rural or peripheral areas.
Tertiary and Quaternary Activities| Class 12 Geography Notes
Tertiary and quaternary activities are both part of the service sector. Tertiary activities are services that support the primary and secondary sectors. They include trade, transport, communication, and services. Quaternary activities are specialized tertiary activities that involve the collection, production, and dissemination of information. They include computing, information and communication technologies, consultancy, and research and development.
Both sectors are integral to modern economies, reflecting the shift towards specialized knowledge and technology-driven employment. In this article, we will study the Tertiary and Quaternary Activities in detail.
