Now, when in many countries distance learning is actively imposed on people who do not have not only teaching aids and methodological competence for digital learning, when some people do not even have access to digital devices, there are no conditions for learning outside the classroom and there are many other problems, the problem digital inequality becomes its one channel for increasing general social inequality. Our research, which contributes to the study of current and likely future problems of digital education, its role and interaction with other spheres of society, including science and industry, is a contribution to solving the problem of social well-being, including sustainable development.
