technology gap definition – The research by J.B. Smart has led to a controversial definition for what constitutes the “technology gap” in society. It is still not quite clear what it is, but in spite of this, the gap continues to grow larger and larger.

We can currently buy a smartphone that can stream music, check email and do internet banking at the click of a button.
