| 3 | Allenna Leonard | Means must be found to provide and maintain access to ICT's, not only for the ecomomically and educationally disadvantaged but for an aging population whose dexterity, eyesight, hearing and ability to master new technology has declined. |

| 3 | Alfonso Reyes | Yes, I think not doing this is promoting a new way of "social exclusion". |
| 27 | David Best | This presupposes that expanded use of ICTs by this age group is a good thing. Whilst this may be true it is not axionmatic! |
| 31 | Alfonso Reyes | The point that Allenna's statement triggers to me is the need to put much more efforts in developing new ways of accessing ICT's for people with some sort of dissabilities and this account not only for the elderly. By new ways of accessing I incude not only new physical interfaces (touch screen, light pens, etc) but new ways of navegating through data. |
| 35 | Raul Espejo | While I agree that no form of exclusion is acceptable, it seems to me that we need to pay particular attention to the divides emerging from economic and educational differences among and within societies |
