Technology and In/equality: Questioning the Information Society


Add your own review!

Overview

This text explores the relationship between technology and inequality through social and cultural theory and case studies of the application of ICTs, in particular in media, education and training. It discusses the policy implications of this (presumed but arguable) inequality. The book tries to answer the following questions: why is it important to think about technology and inequality? what theoretical ideas can help us understand technology and inequality? what are the policy implications of the assumption that more technology/information is better?; and by encouraging pluralism do we avoid confronting fundamental inequalities in society?
