Abstract
The observable evidential outcomes of Digitization in the academic and among professionals have created a niche for digital attraction in almost every field of human existence. More than ever, educators and professionals from different walks of life are integrating technology into their dynamic learning process. Right from the classroom, Technology is explored and employed to create projects, garner and analyze data for every result oriented projection. Now that the presence of technology is almost indispensable in the world economy; how do we mitigate against the unattractive effects of digital divide? The glaring gaps between the ?Haves? and ?the Have Not?s, the chasm between the possessors of obsolete and those with the State-of-the-Arts Technologies? Above all, the ubiquitous divide that exists between the ardent users and those algid to technology employments? The incorporations of digital educational resources could provide multiple advantages among scholars and other professionals. Constant interactions with digital resources, always pave way for acquisition of skills in the use of devices, ability to surf and navigate different platforms for knowledge endowment. These could develop in scholars, the basic understanding of technological concepts, paving a way for their successful evolvement and sustainable development in the quest for relevance in a rapidly changing world of technologies. This paper therefore, attempts to lay bare the constraints inherent in digital divide and discuss the possible ways of ameliorating the identified digital divide problems.
