Digital
The digital divide of the future is not what you think – or where. Until now, we have been focused on access to the internet and mobile phones, where there are still gaps, but they are closing. However, the US and China are emerging as digital giants that may dwarf our current divide. For example, together they account for 75% of blockchain patents, 50% of global spending on IoT, 75% of the world market for public cloud computing and 90% of the market capitalization value of the world’s 70 largest digital platforms. Our digi-future is more unequal that you think.
