Inequality is complex and varied, but have you ever heard of the digital divide?
As new technologies emerge and we live more of our lives online, the divide between those who have reliable internet access and those who don't only deepens.
This week, for our final In-Depth episode on technology, Rhiannon talks to Dr George Ingram, a senior fellow at the Centre for Sustainable Development at the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. They chat about:
- What the digital divide is
- The impact of Covid-19 on tech inequality
- The role of private companies in making things better (and worse)
- Why we can (and must) bridge the digital divide.
