The Digital Divide | Arjun Linglala | TEDxChelmsfordHS

"The Digital Divide" focuses on the inequalities in the world that many people deal with regarding access to technology and digital infrastructure. I look at the effects and problems related to this situation, along with possible solutions to this issue and others! My name is Arjun and I am a junior at Chelmsford High School. I participate in debate club and I'm on the CHS Science Team! My involvement in debate is what got me started on my work and realization of the issue my Ted Talk examines! In my spare time, I like to play basketball and work out. I love traveling and have been to many different countries in Europe and I want to visit some more countries on other continents as well! In terms of what profession I would like to choose, I want to help people by being a lawyer, doctor, or something else! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

If we are talking about the United States, Appalachia is the region that needs to be prioritized in closing the digital divide. Not only is the region poverty stricken, but the infrastructure required for a high speed internet connection does not exist. The existing infrastructure has never been upgraded since the introductiom of DSL upgrade from dial-up in the 2010's. Also with that lack of access, comes a digital literacy issue. I personally know some people from the region who have never used a computer or a mobile device and it's quite sad that this one region is falling behind the rest of the country.
