Paragraph
Paragraph text
The "digital tsunami" is so powerful that legal and policy responses are not able to keep pace with it. The need for and the importance of digital technologies not only as tools but also as resources in teaching and learning processes and in creating immense possibilities of connections and collaboration must be recognized. Governments need to break down barriers to open information, eliminate digital divides and expand usage and coverage of digital services. They must optimize regulations and public policies and enhance the governance of the Internet to ensure the safe, equal and healthy application of information and communications technologies.
