So what is The Digital Divide? The name pretty much gives it away but ill explain it anyway…It refers to the gap that is between those who have access to modern technology (such as the internet, smart phones, television etc) and those who have restricted access, or none at all. It exists between the educated and the uneducated, rural and urban areas, between socioeconomic classes, and between nations who are more or less industrially developed.
The point of this post is to address whether or not 3D printing is influencing the digital divide… Well its not in my opinion, not at this stage anyway. Currently those who have access to 3D printers and the internet are benefiting from 3D printers and those who are detached from these technologies are not. They simply don’t have access to 3D printers without the internet or a healthy bank account.

Wasn’t so obvious after all, had no idea what the digital divide meant.
