What are the computer ethical issues regarding the environment?
Some barriers to access (security systems) are intrinsic to the technology of information systems, but some are avoidable through careful system design. Factors that can limit access to computing technology include financial cost, cultural barriers, and physical limitations (blindness, paralysis, and pregnancy). How can hardware and software be designed with consideration for differences in physical and cognitive skills? What is the cost involved with providing equity in access? To what groups of society should equity in access become a priority?
Design for accessibility by considering physical and cognitive differences. Cost varies; prioritizing access equity benefits marginalized groups.
