Staying connected: the importance of digital inclusion
I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with family and friends over the festive period. Above the food (too much) and present-opening (very lucky), I noticed a stark contrast between myself and some of my loved ones – they were being left out.
It wasn’t because of inside jokes or relationship differences, but because they were being digitally excluded. And while it happened subconsciously, it shouldn’t be happening at all, let alone within my own family.
From struggling to work the TV remote to asking how to crop photos, technology is still an alien concept for lots of people. So, while I’m not a fan of setting New Year resolutions, I do want to see measures put in place that will lead to everyone being included in our evolving digital landscape.
