The article discusses how increasing access to information and communication technologies (ICT) can help reduce poverty. It first outlines the structure, then examines data on ICT penetration rates globally. The conclusion argues that adding an indicator for digital opportunities to the human development index could help reduce inequality between countries. Ensuring access, use, and exploitation of ICT, especially in schools, may lower dropout rates and malnutrition by keeping children in education. Overall, the article proposes that widespread adoption of ICT can help "wage war" against extreme poverty in developing nations.

3. Conclusion
My point is that there is another indicator that must be added to the
human development index that can reduce the gap.
I think that generate digital opportunities is the key to reducing extreme
poverty. What are the opportunities? access, use and exploitation of
ICT. Determinants for developing countries to overcome the low levels of
development.
If we ensure access, use and exploitation of ICT in schools and public and
private schools can lower student dropout rates and thus the poorest
children remain in educational institutions where they currently are
assured of adequate food and this would help us also lower the rates of
malnutrition and so on.
Finally I think this strategy would generate a war against extreme poverty
in the most vulnerable developing countries.
