Digital Divide in Venezuela
The digital divide in Venezuela refers to the inequality between the information haves and information have-nots between Venezuelans, and the benefits that one has compared to the have-nots. Digital divide is the gap between individuals, households, business and geographic areas at different socio-economic levels with regard both to their opportunities to access information technologies (ITs) and to their use of the Internet for a wide variety of activities.

Information Technology
Information technology (IT) is a term that encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange and use information in its various forms business data, voice conversations, still images, motion pictures, multimedia presentations and other forms, including those not yet conceived.

Digital Gap
Venezuela, in the past, registered a low index of penetration of Internet (Cavecom-Datanalisis, 2002l, since only 1,480,000 of the Venezuelans, are to say 5.63% of the population used the Internet, it means that the Dig- ital Gap in Venezuela by that time was 94.37%, these results are congruent with the CONATEL statistics (2002) which reflect that only 1,152,502, are to say 4.66% (95.44% Digital Gap) of the Venezuelans had access to Internet both organizations report a great Digital Gap in Venezuela. Between the data related to the local 44 J.C. Guasch, L. Ugas / Telematics and Informatics 24 (2007) 41–47 digital gap, it stands out that the user of the Internet in most of the countries: (a) lives in urban zones and in certain regions, (b) has better level of education and greater economic level, (c) is young and (d) is male (PNUD, 2001) . These predominant characteristics are present also in Venezuela, where of the total of users of Internet 41.2% belonged to social layer D and 31.5% to the C, 37.5% had ages between 18 and 24 years, 58.03% were men and 73.9% had a level of superior education (Cavecom-Datanalisis, 2002). Additionally, 55.59% of them were concentrated in two states, the Federal District and Miranda state, and 44.41% were dis- tributed in the rest of the 22 states of Venezuela (CONATEL, 2002).
