Resumo
[Abstract]: Technological advances have been crucial for economic development as well as
for increasing social and individual welfare; however, it is not uncommon for
imbalances and inequalities to appear simultaneously and may give rise to new
social groups at risk of exclusion. In the age of technology, there is still the risk
of technological exclusion and the digital divide is still present. The concern for
sustainable development in its three aspects: environmental, economic and social
has led to the search for socio-political environments that minimize the risk of
exclusion. The objective of this paper is to analyze the access to technology as a
social and human rights problem, which transcends individual needs to become
a key issue in public policies. Primary data have been collected, through a survey
with the objective of evaluating the opinion of citizens on the relevance of implementing public policies targeted to achieve technology universal access, as a
central issue in public agendas. Different social groups’ profiles have shown divergent opinions.
