INTRODUCTION

The influence of information technology on social practices has mainly been to the effect of making information about them more accessible. The most relevant question though is whether the developments in information technologies have influenced the continuity of social attitudes, customs or institutions[1-6].

In this study effect of ICT and its effect on diverse sectors of societies is presented, with particular emphasis on Digital Divide phenomenon
