Title: Internet – Digital inclusion for everyone regardless of their abilities
Abstract: The term digital divide was coined in the mid-1990s in the USA by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)1 in its Falling through the Net report, which identified a divide between those groups of society who have access to information and communication technologies and those who have not. In Germany too there are debates on the different possibilities various societal groups have when it comes to accessing digital media and the Internet in particular. The overall aim of ensuring equal access to and use of new media for all sections of society is described as digital inclusion, or, at a European level, also as e-inclusion.
