Although tremendous progress of ICT and its concrete manifestations in the form of new communication tools and practices, has generated profound changes in social life and daily activity of social members, and applying technological achievements in today's society is inevitable; but familiarity of all different social classes to these new phenomena and their favorites and consequently the prevalence of its use among the community groups has not been the same for various reasons. These differences will bring about the digital division problem. This research was conducted using questionnaires. The sample of this research, using Cochran formula, was 374 patients of 14,507 university students. Based on the results of the research, gender and income aren’t the influencing factors on digital division. Increasing use of computers and Internet has caused the gap to be decreased. This is also true in the case of online participation. In fact, more online people participation through virtual social networks, email, chat, blogs, and so on, causes more digital divide diminishing. The findings show that the computer anxiety increases the digital divide. In addition, the rate of computer anxiety among women is more than men
