these services are expensive and thus digital barriers are widening

In America, we have tried to fix this by offering computer access in the schools. We don't have digital cafes offering computer access in many locations- typically it's just WiFi connections. Unfortunately, this means disadvantaged students are forced to complete any computer-based assignments before, during, and after school, while the building is still open.

Now, in the age of Internet 2.0, the web is of no use if only some people have access to it. Perhaps the digital society can help with this - I believe that promoting tele-education in our cities will help these people to get good education.

Hi T561- a bit old, but an international perspective on the inequality of technology access across the globe. This article links in with the TIE list discussions about the One Laptop Per Child effort as well. If we want to use technology to break down international barriers, like Dede's "Microsoft of the future" film, we have to address the issue of accessibility, both across the globe and within our own student population.

Give your keyboard the boot? Microsoft patents foot interface - 1 views
-
Microsoft's research into a "foot-based user interface" seemed somewhat novel in 2006, when I first wrote about the project. Now that the company has released its Kinect full-body motion control system for the Xbox 360, the idea of controlling a machine with your feet seems like only part of the picture.
-
Despite the fact that it seems outdated, or at least partial, the patent actually could be a notable win as the Redmond company expands the concept of motion-based interfaces beyond its video-game console into more general-purpose computing.
-
This could be used as an alternate means of interacting with computers. From an educational standpoint this does not appear to be dated, but rather creating opportunities for people with limited means of motion.
