Agree or Disagree: The digital divide is still rélevant in Japanese society.

This is an interesting topic; depending on what we are and how old we are, the answers may well vary, but in my view, the digital divide is rélevant in Japanese society. Now let me explain the details.     

First, the digital divide is considered a global problem as it is, and many Japanese people today are suffering it. For example, we know that several seniors have trouble operating PCs and smartphones. In this way, a gap in digital skills prevail among different age groups. This is a problem in countries such as Japan, where the aging population results in an older workforce in most workplaces.     

Next, income gap in recent years has contributed to the digital divide. For example, to access digital information, you need terminal devices such as PCs and smartphones, as well as subscriptions to information providers. However, these services can be unaffordable for some people, exacerbating the digital divide in turn.           

In conclusion, while it is important to keep pace with global digital innovation, we should be mindful of its impact and take steps to reduce the digital divide in society. Thank you for your attention. [189 Words Type-N]
