The book explores the paradox of digital design, highlighting how advancements in video and animation can inadvertently create barriers for users with disabilities. It argues that as the web evolves, user control over content display has decreased, emphasizing the need for disability to be recognized as a cultural identity alongside class, gender, and sexuality. The authors, Kent and Ellis, extend this discussion to contemporary Web 2.0 trends, including social networking, virtual worlds, and file sharing, advocating for a more inclusive digital landscape.
