The Information Society is bringing about radical changes in the
way people work and interact with each other and with information.
In contrast to previous information processing paradigms, where the
vast majority of computer-mediated tasks were business-oriented and
executed by office workers using the personal computer in its
various forms (i. e. , initially alphanumeric terminals and later
on graphical user interfaces), the Information Society signifies a
growth not only in the range and scope of the tasks, but also in
the way in which they are carried out and experienced. To address
the resulting dimensions of diversity, the notion of universal
access is critically important. Universal access implies the
accessibility and usability of Information Society technologies by
anyone, anywhere, anytime. Universal access aims to enable
equitable access and active participation of potentially all
citizens in existing and emerging computer-mediated human
activities by developing universally accessible and usable products
and services, which are capable of accommodating individual user
requirements in different contexts of use and independently of
location, target machine, or run-time environment. In the context
of the emerging Information Society, universal access becomes
predominantly an issue of design, pointing to the compelling need
for devising systematic and cost-effective approaches to designing
systems that accommodate the requirements of the widest possible
range of end-users. Recent developments have emphasized the need to
consolidate progress by means of establishing a common vocabulary
and a code of design practice, which addresses the specific
challenges posed by universal access.
