Since information society’s dawn, a steady process of digitization has been transforming our daily activities. These changes occur at such a speed that we are often prevented from reflecting on the origins, transcendence, and significance of the process. Also, and at the very same time that we articulate new digital spaces, the digital gap is broadening, and the possibilities to benefit from such information society, reduced. However, and again at the same time, we bridge the gap based on the convergence of both technologies and contents. In this paper we explore the relationship between the digital divide and convergence, both concepts in fact being literal samples of how to put information and communication technologies into good use in educational, cultural, health, and social issues. |
