6 Min Read BARCELONA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A painting of a woman using an iPad, a vase depicting children dreaming of computers - both historical objects with a contemporary twist highlighting the world’s growing digital divide during the coronavirus pandemic. The exhibition at Barcelona’s Analog Museum of Digital Inequality aims to show how this gap - laid bare by COVID-19 -disproportionately affects women and low-income and ethnic minority groups. The so-called “digital divide” refers to the gap between those who have access to computers and the internet, and those with limited or no access. About 54% of the global population used the internet last year, but less than a fifth of people in the least-developed countries were online, according to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency.
