The Problem(s)

• There is a widening digital divide today– Technology used to be an option one could avoid or get by without– No longer optional – for education, employment, health, safety, and life.– IT-like interfaces are being built into every job (even janitors)

• But many in population can’t use it because of barriers due to disability, literacy, digital literacy and aging– Very diverse – many groups – each with tails

• Access solutions are often so complex to set up that people who need them can’t use them– Users, – Schools, Libraries, Public access points, Companies

We have something of a Perfect Storm coming; •where just as access to digital interfaces is becoming mandatory for meaningful participation, independence, and self sustenance, and employment

•we find that we not only are nowhere near providing access to everyone who needs it

•but we are actually losing ground– due to technical proliferation across platforms,– Introduction of cloud computing – increasing product churn (breaking existing solutions) and compounding this problem – we have – decreasing social resources to address it– and an inability to effectively serve the tails of these populations

(and the tails of the tails)

• Yet if access is mandatory – – Anyone who cannot access ICT will be unable to

participate in the world we are building

– If only 5 percent can't understand and access • that is one in every 20 people or 16 million

people in the US.

The World Is Changing

• In order for ICT to not create greater inequity

• we need access/usability solutions to be– Simpler

– Cost less per person (costs less to make and market)

– Work across all the ICT people encounter

Three pillar solution

WHAT IF…

1. What if - Everyone could easily find out what would help them to understand and use ICT and cloud services

2. What if - Any device / system that a person encounteredwould instantly change into a version they could use and understand….

3. What if - It cost developer/vendors much less to develop, market , and support new solutions – internationally

• That is the purpose of the GPII

Here is what that might look like….

• We call this auto-personalization

• And it can make Cloud Computing not only be accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities

• But auto-personalization can make Web and Cloud applications more understandable and useable by the population at large.

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF GPII

APCP

MOVING RESEARCH TO

REALITY

APCP•Build a commercial quality implementation – and release it for public use.

•Carry out Pilots in high schools, a community college and 10 American Job Centers across the country

•(Will also be testing it in 5 University and Public Libraries as part of a parallel project of the UIITA-RERC)
