Hello everyone
thanks to Adrian for the internet house feature. It sound
fascinating, lets just hope that the technology is year 2000
compliant, otherwise it sounds as even the loo won't work.
Access to the internet / internet facilities / changing technology is
an interesting area in relation to disability design. We've been
having a debate at home over the last few days about the benefits of
technology and how they enable people with disabilities, Stephen
Hawkins being a classic example of course. But we then wondered about
the extent to which the technology can lead to social exclusion. For
example, teleworking allows an employer to provide facilities for a
disabled person (for example) to work form home, does this go against
the grain of social inclusion?
If anyone knows of any good internet sites in relation to this, I'd
like to hear.
Rita
