🚨 Is the internet a human right? Six out of ten Brits think so! 🚨
New research reveals that a whopping 73% of people in the UK believe that internet access is now crucial for everyday life. From managing money to keeping in touch with loved ones, being online is no longer just a convenience—it’s a necessity!
But here’s the hitch: over 35 million folks feel they lack the knowledge to fully enjoy the digital world. Despite concerns about social media, 37% find it vital for their mental health and staying connected.
In response, Vodafone’s everyone.connected programme has already helped 4 million people leap the digital gap, offering support for those without the necessary tech tools or skills.
🔄 Reggie Yates helped Vodafone showcase this issue in London with a giant Snakes and Ladders board, highlighting the ups and downs of digital access. 🎲
The world is moving fast, with digital skills as crucial as reading and writing. While many feel confident shopping or banking online, using advanced digital tools or identifying fake news remains a struggle for a significant number.
Vodafone, along with partners like Good Things Foundation, is committed to tackling these issues, aiming to reach even more people by joining forces to create a truly inclusive digital society.
