Abstract
New technologies can bring many advantages and benefits to citizens, and are the engine of the Information Society and Knowledge in the globalized world, where we live. The way we approach and make use of these new developments will determine our social integration in the near future. Economic and socio-cultural distance that occurs between individuals and the digital divide (between integrated and excluded into the technological development), that emerges, can have harmful consequences when this gap does not occur only among subjects from different cultures, but when this gap affects seriously more than half the population. That is, when that affects the female half.
