Abstract

This talk will address the following questions: What does "universal access" mean with respect to computer-based network services? Is it desirable? Where do we stand today with respect to achieving it? What is required (particularly in the HCI realm) to achieve it? What are some of the consequences and side-effects -- positive and negative -- for society?
