New electronic technologies have both positive and negative implications for social justice. Identify and discuss these implications and propose ways that social workers can advocate for equal access to electronic technologies.
What will be an ideal response?
As social workers concerned about social justice, however, we must understand the multiple implications of inequality of access to new technologies. These technologies open opportunities for relational community and the multitude of resources provided by such communities. Skill in using new technologies is also increasingly rewarded in the labor market. Unless access to these technologies is equalized, however, territorial community will remain central to the lives of some groups-most notably, young children and their caregivers; older adults; poor families; people in isolated rural communities, and many persons with disabilities, who have their own special technological needs. On the other hand, new technologies may make it easier for some people with disabilities to gain access to relational community, even while inaccessible physical environments continue to block their access to territorial community.
