Adaptive computing and the internet: One step forward, two steps back?

Abstract

Advances in adaptive computing technology provide opportunities for people with disabilities to access information and participate in society. But some networking tools, especially those based on graphical user interfaces, threaten to erode the accessibility of electronic resources. This paper offers a brief overview of adaptive technology for computers and networking and identifies a number of issues that must be addressed in order for people with disabilities to become full participants in online activities.
