Government has announced that it will send every home in Northern Ireland a compact disc showing how to use computers, send and receive emails and use the world wide web for shopping or research. It is also publicising a network of 400 internet access points throughout Northern Ireland for people who do not have access to computers.
Stephen Gray, head of information technology at NICVA, said;
“NICVA welcomes this initiative to open up access to the internet to excluded groups such as people with disabilities, older people, families on low incomes and adults with low skills or poor educational qualifications.
It is essential that we end the ‘digital divide’ and make the benefits of computers and the internet available to everyone. Our message is: ‘Get caught in the web’.
