Vicki and Geraldine talk to Ellen Helsper, Professor of Digital Inequalities at LSE, about why giving children laptops isn’t enough.
Talking points:
- Why does social disadvantage so often turn into into digital disadvantage?- Will the gap between the digital haves and have-nots widen, stay the same, or get smaller as more people are exposed to tech?- Why have we been so bad at teaching children the real digital skills they need to thrive online?
