Our lives seem to have an increasing dependence on computer technology. It surrounds us. But with the changes in technology it is harder for us to keep pace, particularly in the workplace and the classroom. Technology currently demands that we adapt to its use. This need for adaptation is compounded by a spectrum of disabilities and impairments. Inclusive Innovation looks at how adaptive computing, better design, and reduced complexity are key elements to making the Digital Lifestyle more fully accessible.
