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 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.
