How does technological stratification impact society?


It facilitates the exchange of technological advancements across borders.

It reduces the existing gap in e-readiness.

It increases the divide between social classes.

It ensures that people from different social and cultural backgrounds have equal
access to technology.
RATIONALE
There are two forms of technological stratification. The first is differential class-based
access to technology in the form of the digital divide. This digital divide has led to the
second form, a knowledge gap, which is, as it sounds, an ongoing and increasing gap in
information for those who have less access to technology. Since the beginning of the
millennium, social science researchers have tried to bring attention to the digital divide,
the uneven access to technology among different races, classes, and geographic areas.
Even as we improve access, we have failed to address an increasingly evident gap in e-
readiness—the ability to sort through, interpret, and process digital knowledge.
