| | Improved interaction with the information society is thought to enhance a state's economic status in the contemporary system. Much has been written of the digital divide between countries, yet little has been researched on the digital divide within the economic capitals of countries themselves. This is particularly true of those on the African continent. South Africa is considered to be one of the most technologically advanced states on the African continent. Yet, within South African society there is a schism between those able to afford and access online material, and those who are not. Due to large income disparities, some people living in cities are unlikely to engage with the information society at all. This is particularly evident in the country's economic hub - Johannesburg. |
