In Hong Kong, around 40% of households do not own a computer, while 70% do not use the Internet. Despite the rapid development and widespread use of information and communication technologies in recent years, scholars have drawn attention to the fact that access to these innovations is by no means uniform [1], and this has raised concerns about an emerging information gap in a society based on income and education. The question of equitable access to information technologies and services in the digital age for the poor, the elderly and other disadvantaged groups is currently a controversial topic. The purpose of this essay is to examine the hypothesis that access to information in the digital age is unfair. I will examine two rebuttal arguments and two supporting arguments. The arguments against are improving the quality of government advice and benefits for minority groups, while the supporting arguments are the strengthening of non-digital inequalities and the replacement of traditional services with digital ones. So I will conclude by presenting my opinion on the topic. First, probably the most important rebuttal argument is that the lives of the elderly and the poor will improve as government councils become more open and more capable of guiding their communities than traditional services. . [2] Minorities now have more channels to express their needs and opinions. Access to the Internet increases opportunities for citizens to access their political representatives and debate with the government and each other [3], for example, citizens can express their expectations and opinions in the government portal before the publication of the Budget annual in Hong Kong. Secondly, the second most influential point of support may be… the central part of the document… provided online. Therefore, these results in the digital divide.References1. N.
