Digital infrastructure and the touchpoints it forms, and does not form, with people’s daily lives took on renewed significance during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Technology became the means through which people, newly-required to work from home, continued in employment; through which children and young people stayed connected with their schools; and through which relationships with friends and family were maintained.  It made goods and services accessible from home when shops were closed, and provided entertainment, news and information.  It offered a means of engaging with health services when face-to-face care was not possible.  Yet not for everyone.  For all the ways that technology created opportunities to participate and connect, it by corollary, compounded and amplified existing social and economic inequalities.
