Digital Families Across the Lifecourse: Summary Report

There is increasing interest in the impact of digital technologies on everyday life. The Scottish Government’s ambition is to increase the use of broadband and other digital technologies across all communities in Scotland. Programmes to improve the digital health of our population, to promote internet safety, and use technologies to support learning are well established. The main aim of digital families programme was to add to this growing body of knowledge by providing opportunities to explore the increasing presence of digital technologies within family life across the lifecourse, and to debate both the benefits and pressures these technologies bring.
