The paper aims to present how the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and the advent of the informational economy have unleashed changes in economic relations that were not uniform across the globe and lead these phenomena to a direct dialogue with the effects of Global Digital Divide. In this regard, the essay has been divided into three parts. On the firs part, after a comparative analysis with other concepts, is presented the concept of Paradigm of ICTs. The second part explores the dialogue between the Paradigm of ICTs and Global Digital Divide and how it allowed a dynamic that activate economically certain places on the planet while leaving others on standby. The third part presents the numbers of the Global Digital Divide based on studies of international institutions to strengthen the argument empirically. The essay concludes that quantitative and qualitative inequality in accessibility, trade and development of ICTs field between the two extremes of the Global Digital Divide indicates the need to change the current standard that divides the world into regions with easy access and developers of advanced ICTs (turn on areas) and regions with limited access, intensive manpower at low cost and absent in terms of research for the sector (standby areas). |
