ITPEC FE Morning October 2019 — Question 66 of 80
Digital Divide — measures to eliminate the gap in access to IT.
The digital divide refers to the gap between individuals/groups who have access to information technology and those who do not. Eliminating it requires expanding access and building literacy.
Option (b) directly addresses both sides: increasing information literacy (learning opportunities) and preparing an environment that facilitates the use of IT equipment and services.
Why not others:
- (a) Describes IT investment planning and feasibility evaluation — a financial management activity, not about bridging access gaps.
- (c) Describes Green IT — reducing energy consumption through telecommuting and efficient operations, unrelated to access inequality.
- (d) Describes product traceability using IC tags (RFID) across the supply chain — a logistics/SCM topic, not about digital access.
Key rule: Digital divide = unequal access to IT → solved by education + infrastructure for underserved groups.
