This book explores various e-Services related to health, learning,
culture, media and the news, and the influences the Web and related
technologies have had and continue to have in each of these areas,
both on service providers and service users. It provides insights into
the main technological and human issues regarding healthcare, aging
population, recent challenges in the educational environment, the
impact of digital technologies on culture and heritage, cultural
diversity, freedom of expression, intellectual property, fake news
and, last but not least, public opinion manipulation and ethical
issues. Its main aim is to bridge the gap between technological
solutions, their successful implementation, and the fruitful
utilization of the main set of e-Services mostly delivered by private
or public companies. Today, various parameters actively influence
e-Services’ success or failure: cultural aspects, organisational and
privacy issues, bureaucracy and workflows, infrastructure and
technology in general, user habits, literacy, capacity or merely
interaction design. This includes having a significant population of
citizens who are willing and able to adopt and use online services; as
well as developing the managerial and technical capability to
implement applications that meet citizens’ needs. This book helps
readers understand the mutual dependencies involved; further, a
selection of success stories and failures, duly commented on, enables
readers to identify the right approach to innovation in areas that
offer the opportunity to reach a wide audience with minimal effort.
With its balanced humanistic and technological approach, the book
mainly targets public authorities, decision-makers, stakeholders,
solution developers, and graduate students.
