In the classroom, I got an opportunity to learn about various global problems that

could damage human well-being on a global scale. Some of the future events we
should worry about are 
 Infectious diseases, 
 Extreme weather events, 
 Digital inequality,
 Terrorist attacks,
 Cybersecurity failure, 
 Weapons of mass destruction,
 Adverse tech advances etc. 
The impact of COVID-19 might be considered as the most recent effect of one of the
global risks. COVID-19 has a high human and economic cost. The covid-19 has
spotlighted the flaws in our healthcare systems, as well as inequities in access to
these services. 
Among numerous global threats, the “Digital Divide” has piqued my interest the
most. The ability to use computers and the internet has become a means of
immersing oneself in the world's economic, political, and social dimensions. This
technology, however, is not available to everyone. As a result, the term "digital
divide" refers to the disparity between underprivileged members of society, cities and
rural areas, educated and uneducated, and handicapped members of the population
who do not have access to computers to the wealthy, middle-class population of the
world's urban, developed regions. Today, one example can be found in the shape of
online education. The growth of services like virtual classrooms and virtual
conferences necessitates high-speed connections, which those on the digital divide's
less-served side cannot afford.

As the number of people with internet connections continues to rise year after year,
the digital divide appears to be widening at an alarming rate. Education, money, and
ethnicity are all elements that contribute to the digital divide. The issue of the digital
divide cannot be overlooked as technology advances. We live in a world where
wealth is already extremely unequally distributed, and the incapacity to use
computers has exacerbated the problem. People who have access to technology
have gotten even wealthier as a result of the power of information. If you don't have
access to technology in a world where we are characterized by what we earn and
what we learn, you will be left in the digital dark ages. That is what the digital divide
is all about.

There is no way to close the gap until someone takes the initiative. The digital gap is
caused not only by the high cost of computers but also by pervasive illiteracy among
the underserved. The problem is still huge and complex, but it can be broken down
into specific tasks to close the gap. The government should subsidize Internet
connection for low-income households in the same way that it subsidizes phone
services. At the same time, the private sector must commit to providing rural
communities with equal access to services and networks. In order to expand and
strengthen, more Community Access Centers should be established and funded.
Furthermore, communities should not rely solely on computers and other
technologies; they must also develop and retain qualified personnel who can teach
others. At the same time, society's attitude toward technology needs to shift. Instead
of seeing computers and the Internet as luxuries, people should see them as crucial
essentials.
