The purpose of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day is to help raise awareness of the possibilities that the use of the Internet and other information and communication technologies (ICT) can bring to societies and economies, as well as of ways to bridge the digital divide. 17 May marks the anniversary of the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention and the creation of the International Telecommunication Union

This year's theme is
Connecting Persons with Disabilities: ICT Opportunities for All 
As we are crazy (and ethical) engineers, lets discuss some ideas on how we can design technologies that can assist the less fortunate in our society, so they can also enjoy the benefits of the digital age. How can we help the blind watch the news? How about the deaf communicating through a wireless device?
Let loose your ideas, CEans!
