For those unfamiliar with it, the so-called “digital divide” refers to the gap between different demographics and areas based on their access to the latest technology.
Promoting tech inclusion among people from different backgrounds has been a big topic of Cook’s tenure as Apple CEO, based on his belief that Apple should be a “force for good” in the world.
Recently Apple released its employee diversity breakdown, while Cook has also pushed for Apple devices to make inroads in the education system: building on a target market the company has been working toward for years.
Earlier this year, Apple supported President Obama’s ConnectED program, which aims to improve Internet access at schools across the U.S. As part of the initiative, Apple contributed a number of MacBooks, iPads, and software, as well as its expertise.
