>   "Activities directed at "including" more people in the use of digital
>   technology are predicated on the assumption that such inclusion is invariably
>   a good thing.  It appears so, when judged solely by immediate practical
>   convenience.  However, if we also judge in terms of human rights, whether
>   digital inclusion is good or bad depends on what kind of digital world we are
>   to be included in.  If we wish to work towards digital inclusion as a goal,
>   it behooves us to make sure it is the good kind."
> 
> nti Leeds have genreously secured a suitable venue at Leeds Metropolitan
> University.
> 
> The talk starts at 7pm and is expected to last around two hours, with time for
> questions afterwards.
