There are still grey areas as it relates to digital divide. The pandemic actually widened the gap especially for small scale businesses who do not have access to internet or power. Lots of businesses with little or no digital techniques have been displayed. We have to do a lot in sustainable energy, education and digital empowerment from the foundation schools.

Community mesh networks like NYC Mesh offer fantastic opportunities for people living in dense cities. Do community networks have a place in closing the digital divide? Or are they a stepping stone---or worse, a distraction---on the way towards true internet equity?

Digital connectivity is a vital tool, however how are we going to ensure the safety and innocence of our young generation from accessing bad and malicious information. If I look at many challenges among the youth nowadays many of these problems are a result of bad technology. So in the midst of this, how will governments ensure the safety of our societies without living it all at the mercy of self destruction?
