The extent of the digital divide is large as the island has not had any type of communication with other people as they cannot provide the people there with IT access the only way anyone could contact anyone outside of the country is by satellite phone which are highly expensive.
The problems that have caused the divide are the area being highly undeveloped meaning they are unable to provide the population with IT, also the area has been in turmoil due to gang wars and bloodshed that may have stopped the country form developing.
The impact of the divide has caused the country to become highly undeveloped making it hard for the country to keep up to date with other countries in term of IT use, jobs and business.
The solutions to these problems have been the introduction of Email stations which allow people to send email there are only 14 according to the BBC website but this may have changed and also the charity that is providing the country with this technology says they would like to improve on the use of IT by making it more then just using the stations for Email.
The idea I have that could be introduced to help close the digital divide is the introduction of lessons to teach the inhabitants of the island how to use computers.
