that aim to explore the concept of technological inclusion in relation to older
people's experiences of everyday life.
Understanding technological inclusion in the context of
diverse lives: a discourse between different ‘classes’ of the excluded. This
seminar will explore what is distinctive about technological exclusion on grounds
of age, disability, poverty, or lack of education.

demonstrate a prototype (in development) haptic technology for rhythm and
balance
Mr Andrew Stuart (CareWhere Ltd) will describe the development of a
wearable gps-to-phone technology with a hands-on demonstration
