In the final episode of the Tech for Good Series, we explore Internet Accessibility and the overall goal of creating an online space, which can be used by all without restrictions regardless of physical, mental or technical limitations. We investigate the legal and technological tools that are being implemented to create a barrier-free web. Finally, using the Google tool Lighthouse, we investigate the accessibility of 100 different websites including the website of our Department. This episode presents the issue of internet accessibility to all able-bodied people who may not be aware of the challenges facing marginalized groups in our society and online. Given the importance of the internet in our everyday lives, inclusivity and accessibility for all should always be a priority.
