The Importance of Universal Design in Modern Technology

 

The development of our world is rising, including technology that's been evolving and new machines or products also being created. With all the progress, society benefited and has done a great extent of things and explored new elements. Theresa mentioned that we should make an overall design for more individuals with diverse needs so that they can access the materials and many places to discover. (Theresa, 2018) We should offer more opportunities in education and products that will be efficient for everyone, especially in some environments in transportation, school, agencies, and a lot more. The significance of universal design is to give accessibility to all levels to do things their way and live comfortably, which society deserves. In relation to that, how cultural diversity will engage in the development of designs and solutions. How can we encounter a safe and understandable life in terms of languages. Martin explained, "Whose Culture has Capital?" Tara Yosso emphasizes the importance of focusing on and learning from "the array of cultural knowledge, skills, abilities, and contacts possessed by socially marginalized groups that often go unrecognized and unacknowledged" brought forward by communities of color."(Wolske, 2020) It is important to recognize different cultural needs in this diverse country. For example, we should construct a context in the structural buildings where English is not the only language in signage but also other dialects, etc. It will be a big help to minorities and everyone who has a language barrier.
