Chapter 2: Literature Review2.1 Internet Access in GhanaInformation and communication technology has become the tool that has become integrated and resourceful in people's lives, in the areas of health, politics, social affairs, culture, entertainment and education. However, the Internet has been a valuable means of dissemination of knowledge and opportunities for development and growth.2.1.1 SHS Students' Access to the InternetWith all these major technological improvements, it is proposed that students of the 21st century are "natives of the digital” [3]. It is therefore assumed that 21st century students are more technologically informed than their teachers. Concerns have also been raised about the apparent lack of technological knowledge among teachers. Sarfo FK and Ansong Gyimah conducted a survey with a sample of 300 students in 4 selected schools [3]. Overall, the results showed that Ghanaian students are technologically savvy. This result is consistent with the hypothesis that 21st century students are “digital natives” [3]. In the survey, 60% of students had access to computers and 40% did not. Additionally, in the same survey, 22% of students had access to the Internet, meaning that many students appear to have access to computers but their Internet access is somewhat limited. Thus, the situation of Ghanaian SHS students accessing the Internet is significantly poor compared to that of developed countries [3]. The lack of internet for most Ghanaian SHS students is a fundamental problem in most developing countries; and this can be explained in accordance with the notion of "digital divide" which describes economic inequality between groups or countries in terms of use or knowledge of information and communication...... middle from article......1-4, December 2003.[7] JKOM a.
