Barriers to universal and meaningful access: What are the main challenges that people face in obtaining and making full use of Internet access? To what extent are these the result of social, economic and cultural factors, and to what extent do they result from aspects of the digital environment? How can we use the responses to these questions to better understand the intersection between digital policies and other policy areas? Can this understanding help us to develop and implement more realistic Internet-related policy goals?
In recent times, digital transformation has become an important tool and an urgent necessity in achieving sustainable development in all areas, especially during the (Covid-19) pandemic, which threatened the stability of the entire world, and it became necessary to find alternative solutions to complete the sustainable development process.
Under the current circumstances, the digital transformation that an important segment of society may ignore may impede the development process.
So, We will try to cover the theme of the importance of فhe digital transformation and the need for all governmental and non-governmental agencies to contribute to finding solutions for Internet access for all humanity around the world to ensure the development process and the ability to confront any disasters that may threaten the world, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
