Abstract

The level and pace at which human beings and technology interact in the contemporary world have increasingly drawn the attention of scholars and experts to review the usage, access and role of technology in every aspect of human existence. Hence, the proliferation of digital tools and devices mostly supported by internet facility and their relative usage have, showcased different levels of impact on the society, cutting across gender, age, social status etc. A category of the population that is most affected by the emerging technologies (internet, cell phones, tablets, social media apps and platforms e.tc.) as implied in the works of many scholars is the women. There are substantive efforts through research at global level to highlight and address the issue of women and emerging technologies, especially that which suggest marginalization and domination of women in the digital world. Part of this effort is the book series-Advances in Human and Social Aspects of Technology (AHSAT) being published by IGI Global in USA to promote interest in technology and scholarship.
