Task - Research your local community ICT access.

Research the provision of ICT in the community within your home town. Identify the disadvantaged groups who could benefit most from having more access to digital technologies and what is the mpact of the current digital divide. Evaluate the extent to which disadvantaged groups are served by the initiatives.

There are really no disadvantages people around, its just that some choose not to use these things. Not to sound "posh" or "snobish" but I have seen no homeless people lying about in the streets where I live and the worst person I have seen is someone sitting around selling "BIG ISSUE!" with his golden retriever (who looked quite plump to say the least) and his musto on near the ferry on our side not pompey. !!*Not meaning to be rude or anything here, just saying*!!

However the people who choose not to use the internet and other tehnologies are disadvantaging themselves as there is a lot to gain from these resources, for example, they would be able to contact peole in different countries for relatively nothing and other amazing things.
