Despite of unprecedented increase in the overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers—perhaps even the majority— of people. The important issue here is technological progress. Technology’s influential relationship with society arguably reaches back to the beginning of human history. Concerning the history of technology, a number of authors believe that the development of human organization from the Eolithic Age to the Information Age is directly related to the development of technology. As human dependency on technology has evolved, so have attitudes toward technology. In modern times, technology has tacitly been connected to the notion of progress. Arguably, in a global perspective adoption of particular technology (it could be any technology) is a matter of affluence. Forerunner countries like the US, and western European Countries are also the leading nations with regard to economic performance. The more developed a country is in economic terms; the more people can afford and need to rely in their daily business on available technology. In the last decade we have seen that the wealthier economies have experienced a shift from industrial goods production to a service economy relying on the creation and processing of information, and on knowledge workers who are skilled in the more advanced technology. The digital divide disempowers, discriminates, and generates dependency. The question is how to deal with the problem of the digital divide?The focus of this special edition is on the multidisciplinary approach to digital divide; it is a collection of carefully selected papers which illustrate the problems with digital inclusion, poor local involvement, lack of meaningful and relevant services, and insufficient human resources and skills for operation.
