| Annotation | In this article, the concept of digital divide and its relation to social exclusion is analysed. After describing the several facets of the digital divide, the question is asked whether the divide is widening or narrowing. The definition of digital divide is reconsidered, and the article argues that access to the technology alone is but a very rudimentary indicator of actually making use of digital opportunities. Finally, implications of this approach of the digital divide for social work and social care are considered. (KJ/RH). |
