In this episode, Kiran Kapppeler (Department of Communication and Media Research, University of Zurich, Switzerland) takes us on a deep dive into the evolving role of digital skills in our increasingly connected world. From how algorithms shape the content we see, to the importance of understanding data in everyday life, we explore why digital skills are essential. Using insights from a recent study on Swiss internet users, we uncover the impact of these skills on social inclusion, online engagement, and how digital literacy is a crucial asset in our contemporary society.
