Abstract
The Information Society is bringing about radical changes in the way people work and interact with each other and with information, and offers new opportunities to improve the quality of human life. The target user population addressed is broadening, while the availability, type, functionality and content of new products and services is expanding, and access technologies are being diversified. At the same time, however, each new generation of technology has the potential of introducing new difficulties and barriers in the use of products and services - and eventually in everyday life, new risks for the health and safety of people, and new forms of social exclusion and discrimination.
