For this project, my partner and I researched and compared the digital divides in Vietnam and Greece. We gathered information on internet access, population differences, and technology use in both countries. We analyzed how factors such as income, age, and geography affect digital access. We also examined improvements made during recent years, including increased internet usage and government support. Finally, we presented our findings to show how each country can continue working toward better digital equality.
Vietnam experienced extremely rapid internet growth, gaining over 100 million users in a short period of time. This shows how quickly digital technology has expanded across the country. The fast adoption highlights Vietnam’s strong push toward modernization and connectivity. It is an impressive example of large-scale digital change happening in a developing nation!
About 80% of people in Vietnam use the internet, while in Greece, it’s around 85-90%. In both countries, smartphones are used daily for communication and online access. People in both countries use social media and streaming platforms for entertainment and connection. The internet also plays an important role with education, jobs, and online shopping in both countries.
This project helped us better understand how digital access can vary greatly between countries, even when both have high internet usage. We learned that factors such as income, age, and geography can strongly impact how people connect to and use technology. It also showed us that rapid internet growth does not always mean equal access for everyone. Overall, we gained insight into the importance of continued investment in infrastructure and digital education to reduce these gaps.
