We have also searched the web for exciting developments in technology and new ideas about the society we live in. The best sites we have found are organised into the following three areas:

"I know that
the new technologies are already making a real difference to the lives
of disabled people. This website helps to show this by using information
technology in a fresh and original way. It embraces the European theme
of 'Rights and Participation" by showing how, via the internet,
we can all have a voice in shaping the society of tomorrow. I feel its
very important to share new ideas and thoughts about the kind of world
science and technology is helping us evolve.
I am impressed with the skills and imagination of the team members,
skills that have been acquired through an innovative training course.
The significance of this British contribution to the European Year of
Disabled People cannot be under-estimated."
His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent KG
