- Over 1 billion people worldwide have a disability.
- After the age of 25, an average person’s ability to use digital networks will decline every year by 0.8%. Therefore, 60-year old individuals tend to use websites with nearly 30% more difficulty than their younger selves. The aging population currently dominates the world's population, so this is a critical observation.
- The number of people aged 65 or older is expected to double to 98 million people by 2060.
- 253 million people are estimated to live with moderate to severe visual impairments, according to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. A majority of these individuals employ assistive technology or accessibility features to help them navigate digital devices.
- Over 1 billion people worldwide have a disability.
- Many elements that were originally created for people with disabilities are used by the general public every day. Closed captions, dark mode, and voice recognition software, such as Apple's Siri, are just a few examples

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 becomes a W3C Recommendation
- Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 is now an official Web standard.
- This new type of verifiable identifier, which does not require a centralized registry, will enable both individuals and organizations to take greater control of their online information and relationships while also providing greater security and privacy.
- With the adoption of mobile phone number portability, individuals could now "take their numbers with them" when switching carriers
- By contrast, W3C Decentralized Identifiers can be controlled by the individuals or organizations that create them, are portable between service providers, and can last for as long as their controller wants to continue using them
- DIDs have the unique property of enabling the controller to verify ownership of the DID using cryptography.
- This can enable any controller of a DID—an individual, an organization, an online community, a government, an IoT device—to engage in more trustworthy transactions online. For individuals in particular, DIDs can put them back in control of their personal data and consent, and also enable more respectful bi-directional trust relationships where forgery is prevented, privacy is honored, and usability is enhanced.
- 1) DIDs do not require a central issuing agency (decentralized), 2) DIDs do not require the continued operation of an underlying organization (persistent), 3) Control of DIDs, and the information they are associated with, can be proven cryptographically (verifiable), and 4) DID metadata can be discovered (resolvable).
- W3C Decentralized Identifiers, coupled with W3C Verifiable Credentials, are being used across a number of markets where identification and data authenticity is a concern
- Workforce – universities, job training programs, and education standards organizations are adopting DIDs in order to issue digital learning credentials that are controlled and shared by the graduate when applying for higher education or workforce positions.
