Q. What does “digital equity” mean?
A. The National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) defines digital equity as “… a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy, and economy. Digital equity is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services.”
