| Annotation | Information technology has the power and force - if used responsibly - to make a contribution to the public good. Lord Puttnam focuses on three themes in his lecture. First, he offers some thoughts on the ways in which technological change (e.g. the Internet) has the potential to provide real empowerment and to transform opportunities for disabled people, particularly with regard to access to the arts. Second, he considers issues around representation of disabled people in the media and arts, and on issues of participation. Finally, he suggests what needs to change before we become a society that can seriously debate and tackle issues concerning disability. Reference is made to the Leonard Cheshire campaign to promote the inclusion of disabled people in ordinary settings - including their portrayal in advertising - as a norm. (RH). |
