What did the world summit achieve?

The main aim of the summit was to get everyone to understand that there is a digital divide that is affecting almost all less economically developed countries and that something should be done, it also allowed them to make some decisions about how they can combat the digital divide

The 3 positive points that have come out of the summit are that by 2015 at least half of the world’s population will have access to some type of electronic device that can access the internet, a declaration was passed to help less economically developed countries and it has helped to evolve how IT is used today.

The 3 negative points that have come from the summit are that only 40 heads of state attended meaning that not many people understand the problems, it was difficult for countries to agree on things such as the internet making it hard for declarations to be passed and as 90% of the population of the earth were offline it was also again hard for the countries to agree.

I feel that the summit was not successful as the countries were unable to agree as at the time it was a very controversial topic and as only a few heads of state attended not everyone understands the problems.
