What is Digital Equity?

Digital equity is necessary for people to fully participate in modern society. It plays a vital role as part of overall personal and community equity because all major parts of life—including health, housing, food, education, employment, child care, banking, transportation, and civic engagement—have gone online. As society becomes more and more reliant on technology, the importance of digital equity increases.
