On the basis of theoretical and empirical results the study analyses the social inequalities and the concept of the digital gap, which exist as a result of the development of information society. The actuality of this matter is that the social and digital slope can be conceived as a rebirth of previous inequalities in our century. In the analysis we embark on examining the attitudes and role set of Roma people towards information society. On the basis of a survey carried out with Roma social groups, we urge equal opportunities programs - referring to local needs - for excluded people on the peripheries.
