In 1900, at the Paris Conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians at the Sorbonne, David Hilbert enumerated 23 open mathematical questions and set an agenda for a broad range of studies that continue to influence modern mathematics today.
Now it’s time to focus a decadal study on information and communication technology . In our modern-day lives, digital technology and networks have become increasingly important, and lack of access to these resources can increase inequality. In recognition of this, the Marconi Society, a nonprofit that I chair, created a new mission in 2019 focused on using advanced technology to improve digital inclusion.
Of all our topics of discussion, digital inclusion stood out. This issue has become one of the most visible priorities for national governments, activist internet organizations and many individual “internauts.” Access to and use of the internet has become a critical part of daily life for over half the world’s population. Myriad applications can be found running on smartphones, laptops and tablets, as well as on their cloud services counterparts.
