e-Skills: Social Exclusion
Individuals who do not have base-level e-skills going forward are just as likely to be socially excluded as those who cannot read or write. Many people today can live without having a Facebook account.
A social dependence on such tools is increasing. But to many that trivialises social exclusion.
Perhaps more important are those that because of an absence of basic e-skills, they are not just unemployed but unemployable. This is a serious threat to the fabric of a society whose future economic sustainability is underpinned by new technology.
This and many other issues will come to the fore during the European Commission's e-Skills Week commencing 2nd March 2010.

Ade,
While I couldn’t agree more, I am a little concerned that far to many folks in the e-space are simply there to make noise. My sense is – to be socially included (and employable) going forward, one not only needs the e-skills, but also something meaningful to say.
Perhaps this is another topic that could/should be tabled at e-skills week.

Hi,
I don’t know if I will agree of what you’ve stated..Because I’m concern also to those folks in the..let us say Internet surfers/cyber world..are simply there to make noise. My point is to be more socially included..I mean employable and not only need those skills.
