The Royal Geographic Society (RGS) has highlighted some of the key issues likely to affect our lives and society in the coming years. The Digital Divide has been identified alongside issues ranging from climate change to migration, from energy resources to environmental hazards, from food production to water resources, and from the future of the countryside to globalisation.
The RGS assembled leading experts Martha Lane Fox, the government’s Digital Inclusion Champion, the author and broadcaster Professor Tanya Byron and the BBC Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones to discuss the implications and risks associated with a two tier digital society. Videos of the discussion will be available on the 21st Centuty Challenges website shortly.
