The relationship between disabled individuals and technology is complex, offering both assistance and risks. While adaptive technologies improve access, medical history reveals dangerous uses that erode trust. Neural interface technology presents new opportunities for accessibility, but industry stakeholders must navigate challenges like algorithmic ableism that can marginalize disabled voices. Subscription services and 3D printing innovations also complicate the landscape, challenging expectations of affordability and access. Ultimately, understanding this complex history is crucial for ensuring future developments honor the needs of disabled users.
Technology, while potentially improving access for disabled people, has also been utilized in harmful ways, creating distrust particularly in medical contexts.
Algorithmic ableism poses a significant threat as AI tools can further marginalize disabled voices in digital spaces, emphasizing the need for equitable tech solutions.
