We increasingly use digital tools for everything: to find jobs, to socialise, to shop cheaply,
conveniently and with less damage to the environment. We are using social media, like Twitter and
Facebook, to define who we are.
There is growing evidence that their use changes how we relate to each other as well as with whom we connect. Thus it is urgent to ensure that everyone understands the value of the Internet and related technologies for themselves - to make an informed choice about using them, understanding their potential and contributing to their design.
Nowadays, in Britain, access is available to (nearly) all. We celebrate the arrival of the Digital Region in South Yorkshire by asking: beyond access what is necessary to support people in exploring their potential?
