Information technology (IT) has permeated many fields and aspects of modern society such as education, business, health and entertainment. It provides users with innovative and powerful products which were unimagined decades ago. The Internet is one of the most powerful IT developments. The introduction of the Internet has brought in new areas such as e-commerce, e-health and e-learning. Thus the instrumental role of IT is unquestionable in this digital age. However, from a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) perspective, IT is socially situated and its role and impacts cannot be divorced from its socio-cultural context. CDA is an interdisciplinary approach which studies linguistic and social issues in relation to social discourse with a main aim to examine how social power permeates and controls discourses and consequently creates social inequality and injustice. As IT is closely linked to its social discourse, its use and value are embedded in social structures and processes which are organized through institutions and practices such as political systems, business, education and the media, each of which is located in and structured by a particular discussive field. There are different social groups with competing discourses and they can exert power to use IT to their advantage. The challenge to IT experts, educators and IT users is not about the instrumental power that IT has brought to them. The real challenge is how to use it wisely to enhance humanity.

Inclusive Society

In today?s postinformation society, digital technology has the technological means and innovative solutions which can personalize and customize services to meet the requirements of every user without any barriers. Service personalization is most apparent in the use of the internet, mobile phones, TV, and e-government. Consequently, due to its characteristics, adaptability and openness, digital technology can greatly facilitate and accelerate inclusive processes in society. Mobile devices and services, the internet together with digital cable and terrestrial TV network are just some of technological tools available to modern society for the inclusion of marginalized social groups, including the persons with disabilities. The introductory chapter considers the basis for the use of digital technology in developing an inclusive society, while the research shows the extent to which digital technology is used, as well as the real needs of persons with disabilities for the purpose of finding potential to improve the quality of their life. The conducted research is based on a quantitative testing of two hypotheses, namely, whether persons with disabilities use digital technology to the same extent as persons without disabilities, and whether there are any differences with respect to the improvements of the quality of life as a result of the use of digital technology. For the purpose of testing the hypotheses, based on the sample group of 185 respondents, with 95 of them being persons with disabilities and 90 being persons without disabilities, a comparison was done of average values through t-test, as well as the comparison of relative frequencies by applying x2 test for independent samples. The results have shown that persons with disabilities use digital technology less than persons without disabilities, which only exacerbates the digital exclusion of persons with disabilities. Nevertheless, both groups have the same expectations with respect to the possibility of improving their lives. Noticeable potential for improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities has been noted by raising the use of digital technology to a higher level, especially with the use of mobile phones and the internet. The analysis of the research results has provided data which are significant for estimating the capacity of digital technology and further application of the technology in developing an inclusive society. This paper also proved that an interdisciplinary approach to such a vulnerable subject as inclusion and the social status of persons with disabilities can have beneficial results, as it can be used as guidance in further development of available tools, applications and other digital gadgets.

The article presents the results of a monitoring study of social activity on the Internet. Monitoring of the development and use of the Internet in modern society shows an active growth in the number of users of the World Wide Web. The total number of Internet users is growing dynamically together with the intensity of network use. The high intensity of Internet use, as well as the predominantly "home" use of the network, allows us to increase overall online activity, to improve the quality and versatility of such activity. There are significant qualitative changes in the use of the Internet. Network users demonstrate an active and diverse response to any social processes that occur in society and in the world. They actively use the Internet to obtain diverse social information. Online activity related to the use of the network to express their thoughts and suggestions on various social issues is also recorded. The Internet is also used to contact with government and public structures; to support specific social events that are initiated by users on the Internet, etc.Thus, it can be stated that the online activity of users covers a rather extensive content-targeted field of citizens' social activity. Nowadays, online activity acquires stability, repeatability, mass character inherent in social practices. As a result of the study, factor analysis allowed to identify the following components of online activity: cognitive-informational, emotional-communicative and effective-behavioral, reflecting the features of the meaningful and targeted structuring of social activity on the Internet. The study demonstrated the stability, repeatability, mass character, and the stable nature of the functioning of the selected components (factors) throughout the study period. It also witnessed the presence of leading online activities mediated by the space-time continuum.
