What is the Family Guide to Digital Freedom?

Today your rights and the overall quality of your life depend very heavily on which software is being used around you - even if you don't care much about computers, or don't use them yet. The situation is even more serious for today's children. All the issues discussed in the Guide are already affecting their civil rights and future opportunities.

Software and other digital technologies already control and influence every aspect of our education, business and social activity. All parents and teachers should make sure that schools, grocery stores, Public Administrations, movie companies... use their computers to the best advantage of all families and children, something that doesn't happen very often yet.

The Family Guide to Digital Freedom is here to change this situation: it explains, in one place and in normal language, what everybody should know about software, digital technologies and digital culture, how to act and above all the real reasons why they should care.

The real issues are presented mainly, but not exclusively, from a parent's point of view. The Guide doesn't require any technical knowledge. If you have ever heard of computers, you have all the background needed to take advantage from this book.
