Abstract:-The descriptive study seeks to explore the digital divide between male and female students of University of Barisal, Bangladesh. The term digital divide is conceptualized in three aspects-access to, usage and ability to use ICTs. A total of 300 students were participated in this study where 150 were male and 150 were female. The field data show that though there are no significant differences in access to and usages of ICTs but there is a notable gender gap in ability of ICTs'usage (Smart Phone and Laptop/desktop). Female students are less efficient in downloading and installing software from internet. Moreover, they are not able to solve the virus related problems and aren't as competent in using MS word, excel and power point as male students are. The main reasons of this gender gap are mental dependency and less learning curiosity of female students in ICT sector.

The aging process of human being is intertwined with two vital aspects of life experiences; work and retirement when elderly people face greater uncertainties than other age groups as they have to replace themselves in the newer environs with shifting roles. Thus, in this process, researchers have queries whether elderly disengage or withdraw, whether their disengagement or activity brings satisfactions and how is their attitude towards the functionality of disengagement. To measure these, disengagement and activity theories have been used with descriptive research design when respondents were selected purposively and interviewed Face-to-Face. Most of the elderly in Bangladesh believe themselves to be forced to retire. A significant portion of retired elderly answered that they wanted to be engaged instead retire but, in reality, most of them enjoy disengagement escaping from earlier activities that ensures their quality of life and satisfaction. After all, it is found that disengagement is functional as the sense that the elderly people give up their positions to the young as they are not able to defeat them in the activity level.

Besides their exposure in the intellectual dimension of religiosity is in moderate level.
