1University of Louisiana at Lafayette Department of Business Systems, Analysis, and Technology, Lafayette, LA 70504, USA 2Southeastern Louisiana University, Computer Science Department Hammond, LA 70402, USA Abstract Today in our society, there are two obvious groups of people: one who are able to effectively use technology, and secondly who are not. Many articles and reports call these groups the “haves” and “havenots.” Unfortunately, a large proportion of the population in the United States does not have the technological abilities that have become essential in our day to day lives. We call this partitioning of our society the Digital Divide. Because of the increasing amount of technology that is becoming a part of our society and the complexity of IT, many people are not able to keep up with the changing world. Many people have been left behind and will never be able to benefit from the advantages that today's technology offers. This paper is an insight of getting more description in a very lucid style.
