Tackling Digital Exclusion
The programme explored the critical issue of digital exclusion, highlighting a case where someone had unknowingly been driving without insurance after missing just ONE important email. This powerfully illustrates how the digital divide creates real-world consequences for those who aren't confident or regular internet users.
Elizabeth Anderson, CEO of the Digital Poverty Alliance, appeared on the show to discuss solutions for people who aren't confident or regular internet users. We were honoured that Elizabeth specifically recommended iDEA as a valuable resource for those looking to build their digital skills and confidence.
