Digital Divide in the UK

“Doctors' appointments, job applications, personal banking, key services and more are today mostly managed online. While the UK government details its plans for a digital future to transform public services, one in seven Britons are forced to live without the internet.”

An excellent 8-minute documentary about digital exclusion in the UK. The first contributor - Bel (pre-digital senior citizen) - is typical of our 50+ Digital group. The other two contributors are Joel (homeless asylum seeker) and Jeanette (housebound).

The Digital Divide - could you live without the internet?
