ICTs als Problem? Promotion of these new technologies may become a problem when "their absence becomes the explanation for deficits in democracy or development that might be more likely explained by structural conditions under global capitalism or problematic leadership issues" (Frenzel and Sullivan 2009, p.179) and when "effects of poverty are turned into technical problems which can be solved through technical responses, without actually dealing with the causes" (Mercer 2006, p.263).

_ Was für Veränderungen ergeben sich durch die Verbreitung von ICTs? _ Wie nutzen Privatpersonen ICTs und was bedeutet dies für den gesellschaftlichen Nutzen von ICTs? _ Wie können ICTs als Werkzeuge genutzt werden ohne sie als Lösung zu misinterpretieren? _ In welche dominanten Diskurse ist die Ausbreitung von ICTs eingebettet? _ Bringen ICTs neue Probleme mit sich?
