internet Entrepreneur and observer of the digital world for twenty-five years, Frédéric Cavazza expressed concern, in a blog article, about the importance taken by the digital dyspraxia. 20 Mint asked him a few questions

Web3 brings complexity in the access and use of digital, according to the specialist. — Jan Vašek

This Tuesday, November 15, 2022 was published the second issue of 20 Mint, our media dedicated to Web3.
The latter was developed in collaboration with the community gathered for the first issue.
It is dedicated to digital inclusion; whether they are people with disabilities, women, or people who are remote from the Internet due to a lack of skills or means

$Fré Déric Cavazza: “Web3 will not solve the digital divide” /></p> <p> <p>Frédéric Cavazza is a consultant and speaker in digital transformation. – Fréric Cavazza</p> <p> <h2>Since the pandemic, the digital divide has been regularly discussed in the public space, but the internet has already about thirty years old. Is illiteracy such a recent problem?</h2> <p>The digital alienation of part of the population has existed since the beginnings of the industry. Simply, the more digital takes place in our daily lives, the more illectronism becomes visible. By accelerating the adoption of tools such as videoconferencing services, for example, Covid has made the difficulty of from some, to at school or in business, at take them in hand.</p> <p> <h2>You also care about those who suffer from “digital dyspraxia”””</h2> <p>In France and around the world, there are perhaps 5 to 10% of people who are alienated from digital because they don’t want or can’t acquire the necessary knowledge to use it. We talk about it a lot, but what seems to me even more important is the share of the population – which I estimate to be half Internet users, at least – who use the technologies, but still have difficulties perform simple tasks, such as managing their emails. These are the people. which I call affected by a form of dyspraxia or digital dyslexia.</p> <p> <h2>What causes this dyspraxia?</h2> <p>Digital tools have multiplied at work, in our homes and suddenly, a consensus has emerged on the fact of using them on a daily basis. But no one was trained, no one was trained accompanied in the adoption of these tools. For a company, it’s as if, because we make a large part of our turnover in China, we suddenly asked the customer’ all employees speak Chinese. The digital is a language, with its grammar, its spelling, its culture. &Ccedil’s’learned !</p> <p> <h2>To what extent can Web3 help people more or less remote from digital?</h2> <p>I have a lot of trouble see how he could do it. For the general population, those who sometimes find it difficult to use his emails, the very concept of a database is abstract. So talking to him about blockchain, cryptocurrency or NFT is almost grotesque. Currently, Web3 applications are reserved for users. a very small number of people, perhaps a few hundred thousand in France, who have made the effort to look into it. And again, I include the holders of cryptoassets, but nothing says that they know what Web3 covers. For the inclusion of greater diversity it’s the same: it’s already there very simple to launch an association under the 1901 law to do so, the contribution of a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) in the project seems limited to me.</p> <p> <h2>How to do to turn the tide?</h2> <p>You have to do pedagogy. On its website, the Ministry of Finance explains what blockchain, NFTs, etc. are. This kind of logic should be extended, because ignorance of digital in general and of Web3 in particular is also fertile ground for scams and security breaches. Another approach would be that of investment. Rather than repeating the common mistake of only finance projects carried out by young white men with training as computer scientists, it should be ensured to finance projects that integrate an explicitly dedicated section; to inclusion.</p> <p> <!– adman_adcode_after –><script async src=” class=”aligncenter” crossorigin=”anonymous” decoding=”async” https:=”” js=”” pagead=”” pagead2.googlesyndication.com=”” src=”https://thegaltimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/frederic-cavazzanbsp-nbsple-web3-will-not-solve-the-digital-dividenbsp-c6f418c.jpg”/> </div></p> <script> function pinIt() { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript'); e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8'); e.setAttribute('src','https://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999); document.body.appendChild(e); } </script> <div class=$
