Abstract

Pia Rockhold reflects on the concepts of health, impairment and disability in the context of the technological evolution and development over time and space. New technology is often seen as the solution to our problems, but what have these technologies done for us over time? She argues that equity and equality must be the foundation for global peace and sustainable development.
