Questioning the Digital Inclusion Concept

The technological progress was epiphylogenetically connected with the evolution of human species. The progress of society was dialectically intertwined with the technological progress. The present human cognition is changing under the influence of digital technologies. The pervasive Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) becomes already the new social environment. Their ubiquity, every-purpose and utility are taken for granted. ICT has a similar social-like networking structure and there is no wonder that their effects are seen as being beneficial in all social areas to address resourcefully to any social issue. But can they solve sensitive issues such as social inclusion, equal opportunities, economic and life chances, civic engagements, self efficacy and so on? A proper social inclusion implies more intermingled resources, dimensions and interventions than that. What should be and how can be achieved social inclusion remains a matter of intentionality, empathy and human solidarity.
