信息和通信技术的迅速发展和普及从根本上改变了世界各地生活和社会的许多方面。信息和通信技术，特别是互联网，在许多方面影响了我们所有人的生活、沟通、工作、学习和社交方式。今天，信息和通信技术已经成为发达国家不可或缺的一部分。信息和通信技术具有支持发展中国家经济增长、提供机会和加强民主的潜力。然而，许多发展中国家未能利用信息和通信技术提供的机会。发达国家和发展中国家在获取和使用信息和通信技术方面存在重大差异。这被定义为全球数字鸿沟。一个国家内部也存在不同类型的数字鸿沟，如性别鸿沟、年龄鸿沟和收入鸿沟。本文的主要目的是探索发展中国家土耳其的数字鸿沟，并强调弥合这一鸿沟的一些方法。
The rapid development and diffusion of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) have fundamentally changed many aspects of life and societies around the world. ICTs, especially the Internet, have affected the way we all live, communicate, work, study, and socialize in many ways. Today, ICTs have become an integral part of the developed countries. ICTs have the potential to support economic growth, to provide opportunities, and to increase democracy in developing countries. Yet, many developing countries have not been able to take advantages of the opportunities offered by ICTs. There are significant differences between developed and developing countries in terms of accessing and using the ICTs. That is defined as global digital divide. There are also different types of digital divide within a country, such as the gender divide, the age divide and the income divide. The main aim of this paper is to explore the digital divide in a developing country, Turkey, and to highlight some approaches to bridge it.
