Abstract

Despite an abundance of literature on the potential of e-government to improve service delivery and alter the relationship between citizens and government, few scholars have addressed perhaps the most obvious barrier: the digital divide. This proposed research highlights the importance of understanding the complexity of technology and the digital divide as well as users themselves before implementing solutions.
