“The so-called digital
divide is actually several gaps in one. There is a
technological divide—great gaps in infrastructure. There is a
content divide. A lot of web-based information is simply not
relevant to the real needs of people. And nearly 70 per cent
of the world’s websites are in English, at times crowding out
local voices and views. There is a gender divide, with women
and girls enjoying less access to information technology than
men and boys. This can be true of rich and poor countries
alike”. United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan Statement
to the World Summit on the Information Society, Geneva, 10
