Tim Noonan: disability and voice inclusion in design. Even sites you might think are geared for disabled people are exclusive in use of tech. E.g. Audible is inaccessible (e.g. using visual captcha) or hearing aid companies have inaccessible apps. #TechInclusion

The language used about tech alludes to equality and optimism. E.g. "democratising the net." But little has changed. Tech entrenches income inequality because tech leaders are largely White men. -

Tech is not neutral. Most tech is not truly innovative because it does not lead to structural innovation. E.g. tech does not tackle systemic inequality. -

Companies fail on equity and diversity because they often bring in an expert that does not represent diversity of the population, so they continue with a colonial approach (focusing on White women) that does not make true change. -

Minorities are very interested in STEM. But too much focus is on consumers, not on being creators. The problem is the language and how it's sold, especially to Aboriginal children who aren't made aware that there are opportunities. -
