Is it right to say that new developments of Technologies also bring new challenging Issues

Many people think that in today era technology is a solution to some of the problems that exist on our planet. It’s true that technology is somewhat proven to be effective, but they forget with the advent of new developments of tools and technology also brings new challenging issues. The digital divide is one such issue, one that people are actively trying to overcome. Telecentres focus to bridge the digital divide by providing people acess and efficient and reliable knowledge about information technologies. A global telecentre movement is growing right now. Unfortunately, even where computer facilities are available, the digital divide persists—even in the world's most wealthy countries, access to the latest and most beneficial technologies is limited for those in rural areas and people with this.There are many other issues to be taken into consideration when talking about ICTs beyond the digital divide and universal accessibility. The internet has created new and innovative ways for people to shape and share their identity, and express themselves. However, to some people, the internet can appear to be a something to fear. The rise of online networking, shopping, banking and other online interactions that ask people to share a large amount of personal information have led to a number of risks that every internet user needs to bear in mind.however, telecommunication companies and governments around the world own the infrastructure behind the internet, and different governments and companies are asserting that ownership in different ways. No sole entity controls the internet, which is making the concept of internet governance or the uniform application of rules a very complicated issue.Today technology have been made, creating a new world of possibilities. Our challenge is to sort out how to make the best useof these technology - both the existing and the emerging - for good, and how to assure its access and use it in the most effective and efficient manner.
