👉 Deficit computing refers to the gap between the current state of information technology and the ideal or optimal state that society aspires to achieve. It highlights the shortcomings in how computing resources, services, and infrastructure are distributed and utilized, often leading to inefficiencies, inequalities, and limitations in accessing technology. This concept encompasses various issues, including insufficient investment in digital infrastructure, lack of digital literacy, and inadequate policies to ensure equitable access to computing resources. Addressing deficit computing involves strategic planning and implementation of solutions to bridge these gaps, enabling broader participation and maximizing the benefits of technology for all segments of society.
