Description
Technology and In/equality explores the diverse implications of new information and communication technologies through case studies of their applications in media, education and training, and work. This book examines questions of access to and control over crucial resources such as information, knowledge, skills and income.
The chapters question the meanings of the terms 'technology' and 'inequality', as well as the widespread association of technology with progress. Written for a non-specialist readership, complex theories and key concepts are carefully explained, making this book easily accessible to a wide range of courses.
