The ICT has make the world virtually borderless where information can be shared and transferred easily around the world . But this can only happen if the nation has the initiatives , visions , ideas , push , funds and the digital infrastructure throughout the nation . Malaysia is quite fortunate in this sense where most of the infrastructure , the government drive and support , the equipment , the availability of manpower and the affordability of PC s in the country, where almost everybody can participate in the era where the ICT industry is blooming . But not everybody have access to all the equipment that is needed for them to learn more about ICT , especially people in the rural areas and the poor families are usually left out ,lurching behind to participate in the government effort to push up MSC . This is a serious matter which not just the government should look into but needs the participation and involvement of the whole community .
Information is now the key to success and most of the information now is available in the net .
So it is important that those who are not able to access the information be given the opportunities . Otherwise they are left behind as compared to their counterparts in the city . The most important thing that is needed to bridge up the digital divide is to educate the people on how to use ICT properly . Technology is changing faster than people would thought , previously we were dreaming about having gadget like PDA but now they are everywhere to be seen . Dial-up connection is the thing of the past and nowadays there is DSL , DPL and even satellite broadband connection to make living like what we have dreamed to be in the movie in becoming closer to reality To keep the community leaving in peace and harmony ,not to make any of the groups feel that they are left , and isolated from getting information and opportunities that are available within the net.
