Consider that after the year we’ve had - all the Zoom calls, working from home, online prescriptions and shopping - that we’ve used as a lifeline that *2.6m people* are still offline in the UK. This years’s #ConsumerDigitalIndex shows we have more to do. Let’s get to work

We have to look at #digitalinclusion to consider when confidence overlays with compromised access especially when so many services are going online. There is a link between lack of confidence digitally and how much people are paying - Jane Partington #consumerdigitalindex

Fantastic @LloydsBank #ConsumerDigitalIndex launch covering #digitalinclusion in the #costofliving crisis and the #digitaldivide - in the way we bank, access support and the way we socialise. Well done to @Fayevf09 @jemmamwaters @JoannaRBoosey

Calling for "history of the Internet" to be added to school curriculums including "The Internet existed before Facebook" or "Quelling the myth that the Internet was built to sell you stuff" will help young people to imagine the alternative @cliffmanning #ukigf22

"We need ICT to focus less on the technical' more on the pastural dynamics like what to do if you feel unsafe or see something that makes you uncomfortable" Jess @voiceboxsite "...and I would argue we need start teaching at age 4 not 14" adds @Livingstone_S #ukigf22

Jess @voicebox "ICT teaching has school has hardly changed in the 3 years since I was there. I was taught Word but I had to teach Excel to myself using YouTube. It was assumed our parents would teach us online safety but I was the one teaching my dad about social media" #ukigf22

While #digitalyouthindex might unearth 26% young people dont have access to a laptop, #ukigf22 panel discussing importance of *meaningful use* (quality, skills, context, purpose) and crucially the *power dynamics of access* - young people face an extra relegation of their views.
