Although, there is some good news, the number of Internet users in many countries in Asia using their own language has grown considerably in recent years, the problem remains in some other countries where one cannot use computers without knowing a particular language. According to the report from U.N.'s International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in 2001, only a small proportion of Chinese citizens had access to the Internet. Today China has some 520 Internet service providers and 600 Internet content providers in their own language.

There is some progress in the African continent as well, which has traditionally been very low on the connectivity scale. At the end of 2003, there were around 14 million Internet users in Africa, up from just 4.5 million in 2000. Although the common language for content in many parts of Asia and Africa are in English, it is clear that the number of Internet users in Africa is growing as fast as anywhere else in the world. South Africa accounts for one quarter of African Internet users, and North Africa now accounts for 35 per cent of the total.

As we can see, the world is making progress in getting the world on-line; there is still a huge and disturbing content divide. Most of the globe's Internet hosts are based in industrial countries, and most of the content is still produced in, and for, Western countries, in Western languages. Part of the developing world's answer to this must lie in generating nations’ own information, which requires protecting freedom of expression. As we know Information and freedom go together, the spread of information technology has already had a direct impact on the degree of accountability and transparency that governments around the world must deliver if they are to survive.

"When e-learning products begin to penetrate the market, they usually do so by appealing to immediate, often very local, needs. Eventually no doubt, there can be a merging of interests and products. In the beginning, however, it is differentiation and specialization along lines defined by national cultures and local proclivities that matter most." (Zemsky & Massey, 2004, p. 60).

As the quote above suggested, building a market ruled open society with localized digital content is the most desirable scenario to create a real digital demand for local population. Yet, this may not eliminate the digital divide totally but right at this moment empowering information society should be the social, economic and, even political priority in poorer countries.

If it succeeds in meeting this scenario, a market model with local demand for localized digital content will grow and multiply, ultimately lead to a world which will be a “fair market ruled based digital society”. The world then would become a much more a better place than today. There will be no visible text and technology divide.
