Socially relevant computing
So, imagine you're at a birthday party with your friends. Everyone is having fun and playing games, right? But what if one of your friends gets left out because they can't play the games like everyone else? That's not very nice, is it?
Now, imagine that same kind of situation, but with computers. Sometimes, computers can also leave people out or even cause harm unintentionally. That's where socially relevant computing comes in.
It's like having grown-ups who make sure everyone at the party is having fun and included. Socially relevant computing is about making sure that computers and technology are being used in ways that help people, and don't hurt them.
For example, a socially relevant computer program might be designed to help people with disabilities by making it easier for them to use their phone or computer. Or it might help people in poor countries by giving them access to education or health care through technology.
Basically, socially relevant computing is about using technology to make the world a better, fairer place for everyone - just like grown-ups making sure everyone is included and having fun at a birthday party. And that's something we can all be happy about!
