Technology is a big part of our everyday lives. We want everyone to have the right tools and skills to be a full part of society. To be a part of democracy. To contribute to the economy – and to benefit from it. To vote online. To learn online. To build a resume. To apply for a job online. To pay bills online. To buy groceries online. To see the doctor online. To learn online. Digital inclusion is the work we do to ensure that everyone in every neighborhood can access, afford, and use technology.
