Resumen
The
digital
divide
is
conventionally
measured
in
terms
of
information
and
communication
technology
(ICT)
equipment
diffusion,
which
comes
down
to
counting
the
number
of
computers
or
phones,
among
other
devices.
This
article
fine-‐tunes
these
approximations
by
estimating
the
amount
of
digital
information
that
is
stored,
communicated,
and
computed
by
these
devices.
The
installed
stock
of
ICT
equipment
in
the
consumer
segment
is
multiplied
with
its
corresponding
technological
performance,
resulting
in
the
“installed
technological
capacity”
for
storage
(in
bits),
bandwidth
(in
bits
per
second),
and
computational
power
(in
computations
per
second).
This
leads
to
new insights.
Despite
the
rapidly
decreasing
digital
equipment
divide,
there
is
an
increasing
gap
in
terms
of
information-‐processing
capacity.
It
is
shown
that
in
1996
the
average
inhabitant
of
the
industrialized
countries
of
the
Organization
for
Economic
Cooperation
and
Development
(OECD)
had
a
capacity
of
49
kibps
more
than
its
counterpart
from
Latin
America
and
the
Caribbean.
Ten
years
later,
this
gap
widened
to
577
kibps
per
inhabitant.
This
innovative
approach
toward
the
quantification
of
the
digital
divide
leads
to
numerous
new
challenges
for
the
research
agenda.
