SUMMARY - Tech That Leaves People Behind

Tech That Leaves People Behind

A banking app redesign makes navigation faster and sleeker—and breaks screen reader compatibility. A government service moves online and closes physical offices—leaving people without reliable internet access with no way to access essential services. A company discontinues support for older operating systems—and devices that still work become unusable. Technology advances often leave people behind, not through malice but through indifference to those outside the imagined user.
