Abstract
This chapter explores the global transition from an industrial to an information society and outlines UNESCO’s mandate to ensure this shift benefits all of humanity. It examines how the rapid development of digital technologies offers transformative opportunities for education, scientific research, and cultural preservation, particularly for "reaching the unreached" in developing nations.
