Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the digital gap: their impact on Mexican society

Abstract

It is desirable to achieve a knowledge society in which individuals are fully incorporated in the generating of knowledge, and in which knowledge societies are sources of development for all, especially for less developed countries. This article aims to analyse the role of the digital gap and the cognitive gap within knowledge societies as causes of the exclusion of companies and individuals in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in Mexico.
