Hear from people paving the way toward more inclusive tech, this week on the .future podcast

Inclusive design is a widely used concept in the tech world. The idea is that when you create products, you actively choose to design that product for a wide range of abilities, and make it better for everyone in the process.

This is particularly important for technology companies like Microsoft. As more and more of our lives become digital, we rely on tech for our livelihoods, our social lives, keeping in touch with our families… everything.

But unlike in the physical world, where buildings with stairs instead of elevators might pre-date our current understanding of inclusivity, new technology has no excuse. And that’s the choice we’re talking about today. The choice to widen your world, and design from a perspective that allows everyone to participate.
