Dependency, Social Work, and Advanced Automation

In the field of dependency and personal autonomy, the new technologies play an important part. We analyze a technology which is already established in that field, the information and communication technologies (ICTs) (the main contribution of the chapter), and we reflect on the possible consequences, based on accumulated experience, of the introduction of advanced automation. Other writers investigate the digital divide and relate it to the future robotics divide. In this chapter, we reflect on the ICTs, on informal care, on personal autonomy and on the possible consequences or scope of application of automatic and robotized services systems.

La Accesibilidad Universal y el Diseño para todos desde la perspectiva de género.

Being a disabled woman today presents an added challenge when considered in light of the many different types of women of today´s society. Although politics in this area ought to be specific, one vital necessity unites women with and without disabilities: to emerge as fulfilled women in a world that is too often hostile, where every type of service related to information technology and communication, physical environments, etc., becomes nothing when the principal premise is disregarded, to create designs that take every person into account. For this reason, we present this reflection about the current situation and the actions required to achieve equal opportunities for disabled women.
