In Hong Kong, around 40% of households do not own a computer, while 70% do not use the Internet. Despite the rapid development and widespread use of information and communication technologies in recent years, researchers have drawn attention to the fact that access to these innovations is far from uniform [1], which has raised concerns about the emergence of an information deficit in a society. based on income and education. Whether there is equitable access to information technologies and services in the digital age for the poor, the elderly, and other disadvantaged groups is currently a controversial topic. The purpose of this essay is to examine the hypothesis that access to information in the digital age is unfair. I will examine two refuting arguments and two supporting arguments. The counter-arguments are improving the quality of government advice and benefiting minority groups, and the supporting arguments are strengthening non-digital inequalities and replacing traditional services with digital. Then I will conclude by presenting my own opinion on the subject. First, probably the most important rebuttal argument is that the lives of the elderly and the poor will be improved as government councils become more open and better able to govern their communities than traditional services. . [2] Minorities now have more channels to express their needs and opinions. Access to the Internet improves the opportunities for citizens to access their political representatives and to debate with the government and each other [3]. For example, citizens can express their expectations and opinions on the government portal before the release of the annual budget in Hong Kong. Second, the second most influential argument might be the middle of the document provided online. This therefore results in a digital divide.References1. N.
