Unfortunately, there are also many who don't. According to data from the International Telecommunications Union, although 43% of the world's population has regular access to the Internet, 4.2 billion people, or 57%, do not (ITU, 20157). One of the main factors driving this phenomenon is the cost of purchasing devices that can connect to the Internet. During the years I studied computer science and engineering, I learned to simplify code and circuits. As software engineers, we must create profitable products, making them more accessible to those who normally would not have been able to afford them.
