The ICT's and the digital gap in Mexico

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Mexico is a double-edged sword, since, on the one hand, it gives us easy access to everything that happens in the country quickly and comfortably, but the knowledge that We can get to get from them is not quite true. We may find yellow means that distort information and others that simply hide it; ICTs are used continuously as a means of distraction instead of their main priority: the dissemination of information and knowledge.

Mexico, faced with a precarious situation, both economically and socially, is widely divided by the digital divide created by the use of ICT. There is a separation between "rich" and "poor" (or, in other words, those with access to ICTs and those who do not) is merely ideological since those who lack access to these tools live ignoring most of the Things that happen outside their localities, while those who have information and knowledge are saturated by information, poorly retaining the hard data but efficiently storing everything that becomes comic or easy to digest without Whether it is true or not.

The lack of feedback from ICT users is one of the main causes of disinformation, along with junk content. In this way the average population would fall outside the definition of 'knowledge societies', since you are those who store and manage knowledge efficiently.
