“…The importance of being like others is understandable considering previous research that has shown that ICT used by people in general, in contrast to assistive technology, can be perceived as less stigmatising for many youths with intellectual disabilities (Söderström & Ytterhus, 2010). The young people in our study also belong to a generation that grew up with digital technology as an obvious part of everyday life (Andersson, 2020;Stoilova et al, 2016), which makes it even more plausible that using assistive technology can be perceived as stigmatazing.…”

“…Smartphones and tablets enable many digital activities, for example, playing games, watching videos and, most importantly, communicating with peers (Stoilova et al, 2016). Even young children use digital devices and most schoolchildren in Sweden have their own smartphone (Andersson, 2020). However, the use of ICT is unevenly distributed among the population.…”

Most youths use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for socialising, but there is a discussion about whether using ICT promotes social participation for youths with intellectual disabilities (IDs). Employing the concepts of social participation and self-determination together with the youths’ perspectives, as conveyed by staff, we examine how social participation might be promoted for youths with ID in institutional settings in Sweden. The findings revealed three overarching themes. The first theme, Developing skills, self-determination and becoming less reliant, illustrates the basic use of ICT. The second theme, Sharing events, socialising and participating with others, draws attention to how youths take technology a step further to interact with others. The third theme, Resources and attitudes, concerns the youths’ need and desires for adequate support and equipment and the mindset of surrounding communities concerning ICT. Our conclusion is that ICT has the potential to promote social participation if the youths have access to personalised equipment and supportive staff.

“…While some of the questions regarding the evaluation of online information explicitly point to the role played by search engines, this association is often not made. Instead, questions are asked about accuracy of information found online, for example, in the 2019 Swedes and the Internet report, respondents are asked: “How much of the information that you find on the internet do you consider reliable?” (Andersson, 2020, p. 88; Findahl & Davidsson, 2015, p. 81).…”

“…Instead, questions were asked about people's concerns regarding online surveillance and personal integrity, where Google and Facebook were given as examples. Questions were also asked in relation to Google Meet (Andersson et al, 2020). However, “to google” was mentioned in the 2015 (Findahl & Davidsson, 2015) report, in relation to what people use their tablet for (p. 33) and as a way of referring to online search (p. 35).…”

The overall aim of this article is to contribute to a research‐based understanding of the increasing invisibility of web search engines in society and to discussions about the potential impact of this invisibility. It examines how search engine use and online search activities are represented in national and regional reports on internet habits and experience published by public foundations and policy institutes. The elusiveness of search engines is understood through a theoretical perspective from infrastructure theory. National survey reports on internet habits and experience from the United States, UK, and Sweden from 2015 to 2021 are analyzed. The article shows how difficult it is to gain insights into how people search online and the role search engines play in everyday life. The nature of the survey report, which is often used to inform national policy, risks exacerbating the invisibility of search engines: what cannot be measured cannot be discussed at the policy level. This invisibility can lead to insufficient attention being paid to search engines, including their uses and effects, in legislation, in school education, and in the general formation of public knowledge about search engines in society.
