The Digital Divide: Roots of Inequality, Branches of Opportunity | Mahi Deshpande | TEDxYouth@AICS

The digital world is evolving faster than ever, but access to it remains deeply unequal. Mahi Deshpande examines how historical injustices, from colonialism to modern infrastructure gaps, continue to shape who benefits from technology today. Her talk urges us to recognize digital equity as a critical step towards a just and inclusive future. Mahi is a 16-year-old student at the AICS who advocates for equal digital access for all. After witnessing the stark contrast between those who have access to technology and those who do not, she realised how a lack of internet access could limit education, opportunities, and even participation in global conversations. Her talk explores what the digital divide is, along with where it formed. Mahi aims to spark meaningful conversations about bridging the gap by educating audiences about the past and creating a more connected world. She believes that after all, the only way that the future can be shaped is by understanding our past. Stay tuned for Mahi's TED talk: "The Digital Divide: Roots of Inequality, Branches of Opportunity" This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
