Digital divide

**Digital divide** is the gap between parts of the world where access to information technology is very different.  Developed countries have plentiful internet, mobile phones, computers and Wi-Fi.  Other parts of the world do not.  It is the difference of people that can access the internet, and the people that cannot.

## Problems

A digital divide can be born for many reasons like socioeconomic problems (few people are rich and many are poor), racial problems (there is a majority or a minority that controls the other), or geographical problems (in the cities there are technologies but there are not in rural areas).

Countries on the rich side of the divide include Canada, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Europe and Australasia.  They have big communication infrastructure, and most people can afford computers and other technology.  On the poor side is Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where there are many social problems.  Technology has a long way to go before getting interest in those countries, because of problems like the price of technology and the fact that sometimes there are not any resources to help.

## Inner conflict

In some parts of the world there is a large digital divide. Sometimes it is just in half of a country, or just a region, for example Africa. As with other things like education or transport, some people have things that others don't have. There are big cities where technologies are cheap and there are many villages and rural communities where there is no digital/electronic technology. In this case the digital divide creates other problems. Because a part of the country is rich and another part is poor, there are often problems with trading and connections.

An increase of three decibels is approximately a doubling of power. Decibels are often used in measuring telecommunication signals. With electric audio signals, there are several decibel units, relative to several bases. For example, dBm is relative to one milliwatt.

It's been said that the smallest difference humans can hear is 0 dB and is related to the Absolute threshold of hearing, although this is very subjective at best.

## History

The bel unit was named after Alexander Graham Bell. This unit was so rough that it is more typical to use the decibel, which is one bel divided by ten. Before bels, there was the Transmission Unit (TU).

## Examples and Protection

Often, decibels are used to say how loud a sound is relative to the threshold of hearing. The decibel is not an SI unit. The table here uses dB<sub>SPL</sub> as units of sound to indicate consensus on hearing protection. Some examples of sounds are:

|Sound Level|Examples|
| --- | --- |
|171 dB|Next to a loud rifle being shot|
|150 dB|Right next to a jet engine|
|110-140 dB|Jet engine at 100 meters|
|130-140 dB|Where most people begin to feel pain|
|130 dB|Trumpet (a half meter in front of)|
|120 dB|Vuvuzela horn (1 meter in front of), risk of immediate hearing loss|
|110 dB|Gas chainsaw|
|100 dB|Jack hammer|
|80-90 dB|Traffic on a busy roadway|
|60-80 dB|Passenger car|
|40-60 dB|Normal conversation|
|20-30 dB|Very calm room|
|10 dB|Light leaf rustling, calm breathing|
|0 dB|Hearing threshold right next to ear|

Hearing protection can also be used to shield from ear damage. This table gives some safe limits for the level of sound so that the ears are not damaged.

|Decibels|Maximum Exposure Time|
| --- | --- |
|90|8 hours|
|92|6 hours|
|95|4 hours|
|97|3 hours|
|100|2 hours|
|102|90 minutes|
|105|60 minutes|
|110|30 minutes|
|115|10–15 minutes|
|120|3–5 minutes|
