The digital divide is wider than you think
In short: While the internet is a global gateway to knowledge, it remains fundamentally broken for millions of people with disabilities. This talk explores why these barriers exist and provides a roadmap for creating a truly inclusive web.
Website accessibility advocate Clive Loseby examines the systemic exclusion of people with disabilities from the digital world. Despite the internet's role in providing information to billions, many websites remain functionally closed off to those who cannot navigate standard interfaces.
The discussion moves beyond identifying the problem to proposing actionable steps for developers and creators. It highlights how intentional design can transform the web into a space where accessibility is a standard feature rather than an afterthought.
