So the next time you think about bridging the digital divide, put aside the academic debates of how many people have email access or which communities know how to use a search engine effectively. Instead, think of it this way: does everyone have access to the tools and information they need to keep their families safe and sound? If the answer is no, then you'll know that we still have a lot of work to do.
YES Andy!
If the Information Society is not for ALL what "society" is it then? In my opinion, everyone should have the right AND the opportunity to access any information that is protecting him/her from ANY harm.
Isn't this example reason enough to open public pockets and make it a reality?
Best regards,
Laurent
