Hello ALL
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but the sword is a pretty low bar--or blade--when it comes to effecting lasting social change. Making information technology accessible to--and usable by--everyone is first and foremost a social challenge, not primarily a technology or an economic challenge. For several years we have been writing about the issues and opportunities associated with making digital information and information technologies accessible to all Making Digital Information Accessible Is a Group Effort I received only one reply for my questionnaire. I request once again those who are enrolled in Universities ,Pls fill up my questionnaire. you can access this questionnaire from http://accessindia.org.in/harish/library.doc if you want to contact me [email protected] Hello all I am forwarding a request from a researcher.
