The event aimed to raise awareness of the possibilities that the use of the Internet and other Information and Communication Technologies offer to the development of contemporary societies.
Este año, el Día Mundial de las Telecomunicaciones y de la Sociedad de la Información se realiza bajo el lema: «Reduciendo la brecha de normalización», en base a que la definición de normas es uno de los pilares del trabajo que realiza la ONU en torno a las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación y un importante aporte al logro de los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS).
The 5th Survey of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Digital Citizenship, presented today, is a study carried out annually by Agesic's Information and Knowledge Society Division with the aim of surveying the behaviour of Uruguayans in dimensions such as ICT use and skills, trust in the web channel as a means of interaction with the State and private parties, and trust in the State as a manager of digital channels.
