Digital access refers to full electronic participation in society through access to digital technology and the internet. However, not everyone has equal opportunities for access due to a "digital divide" between those who can access technology and those who cannot. While providing universal access is impossible, increasing digital access for all can help address issues like lack of access to education, economic disadvantages, and difficulties communicating. Possible solutions include projects that provide low-cost technology access, considering different perspectives on technology use, and committing to equal digital access regardless of gender, race, ability, or location.
