Abstract
Aside from its facility, industrial revolution 4.0 brings a new issue to the block- the digital divide. This paper aims to find some antecedents of the digital divide and some solutions in Bourdieu^s digital sociology perspective that can maximize Indonesia^s potential human resources. Through the conducted literature study, this paper found that one of the antecedents is intergenerational poverty in urban and rural areas of Indonesia, which impacted the unequal digital infrastructure. If the infrastructure is evenly distributed and digital capital is owned to every student, they will be more motivated to develop their potential to gain 21st-century skills in order ^Making Indonesia 4.0^.
Keywords: digital divide, digital capital, intergenerational poverty, industrial revolution
