lpv:translated text	"Nowadays, information and communication technologies most certainly rank among the main contributing factors to economic growth and sustainable development. Alongside the fact that they increase productivity and promote inclusion in society, this transition to the age of digital communication is also a cause of exclusion from society, especially if users or citizens are insufficiently aware of the advantages, or are not capable of using our modern acquisitions. It is therefore extremely important that we invest in the development of the information society, and at the same time in education for the use of modern technology even in the earliest stages of school education. On the other hand, society should not exclude older people who are still afraid to use modern communication and modern media. Many cases are known where citizens have preferred to retire or become unemployed rather than adapt to using computers. At today’s rapid pace we have trouble keeping up with what is new, and this will be repeated from generation to generation. There exists, therefore, the danger of elite groups emerging, owing to exclusion from the information society. Given that we perform an increasing number of services by modern means and a declining number on paper, there is the possibility of discrimination emerging owing to a lack of knowledge and experience in this area. For this reason, in addition to development, society must ensure the possibility of education for all strata of the population and for all age groups. Equally important is that great attention should be paid to the security of using modern technology and communication, and that trust will grow through development and the possibility of misuse will diminish. Institutions offering these services must advise consumers of the possibility of dangers, while at the same time giving them guarantees against misuse."@en1
