dc.description.abstractgoal of this project is to design a user-friendly mobile application prototype for people who are disadvantaged by the digital divide. This includes people who are of lower income and those who live in areas where internet isn't accessible or expensive. This application can be accessed through IOS devices as well as a text messaging service system for those without said device. It is an application that will be extremely easy to use and manage, and where users will be able to access multiple resources to gain not only digital literacy but find places that offer computer labs and internet for free, in case neither is available at home. The mobile application's goal is to create resource where the user has everything, they need in a way that is easily accessible; a product that is not currently on the market. In this paper, I will not only explore research on what the digital divide is, but also how it affects those who are disadvantaged by it and ways we can start to help narrow the gap. I will also explore the advantages of mobile applications and how it can be used to narrow the digital divide.en_US
