".
In paragraph 37 of Parliament’s report, which taken as a whole is to be welcomed, we read the conclusion that the rapid change arising from globalisation and the wide use of information and communication technologies increases people’s vulnerability to social risk. Globalisation and information and communication technologies are assessed as risks.
In my view, it is a society in which the rapid change arising from globalisation is not accompanied by the wide use of information and communication technologies that is under threat. Threats arise when the benefits of change are regarded as risks.
The wide use of information and communication technologies increases people’s educational and training opportunities, and also their opportunities to join the employment market, especially for the most socially vulnerable groups such as the disabled. With the help of e-government, social groups or individuals can be directly involved in social dialogue with national government. For this reason, too, in social policy we ought to emphasise those measures that help people to make use of these opportunities. Welfare society and information society development policies ought to be coordinated.
Let us leave fears about the rapid spread of information technology to the dictators of North Korea and Belarus."@en1
