Digital Technologies as a Driver of Intellectual Stratification of Human Resources: Socio-Economic Inequality
Recently, many countries have shifted the focus from the issue of access to ICT to the problem of more effective ICT use in order to promote business innovation and increase management effectiveness and social cohesion. In particular, according to the conclusion of the World Economic Forum, the successful use of ICT is facilitated by the shared environment for ICT, including market conditions and regulatory climate. Such network readiness requires efforts of the entire society, including respective actions on behalf of the population, business and government. At the same time, the readiness to use ICT by all interested parties increases their effectiveness in day-to-day activities. Connection of the population, business and government to the Internet has become an increasingly important factor, as the role of the Internet is growing. The intensive use of the Internet requires high-quality broadband access, as well as fixed and wireless networks.
Governments of many countries invest funds in the construction of digital pipes – national high-speed broadband access based on a combination of fixed and wireless networks – as they accelerate their countries’ socio-economic development.
V. CONCLUSION
ICT has become an integral part of life and has a direct influence on people’s activities, the development of the microsystem as a whole and each individual in particular. However, despite the overall high level and positive dynamics, the main distinctions in the sphere of ICT implementation in certain regions and countries are brought to light. Today, IT is viewed as the main driving force, but at the same time, this force is sometimes seen as a threat of widening the gap between technologically rich and technologically poor countries. Thus, according to the majority of researchers, the modern world is divided not ideologically but technologically: the higher the technological capacities of some countries, the more other countries lag behind them.
