41. Why do we need diversity in computing? Program design is improved when designers better understand users. Having designers from a diversity of gender and ethnic backgrounds will improve designs. DESIGN: Marcus, A (1993) Human communication issues in advanced UIs. Communications of the ACM, 101- 109. USER STUDY: Teasley, B., Leventhal, L., Blumenthal, B., Instone, K., and Stone, D. 1994) Cultural diversity in user interface design. SIGCHI Bulletin, 26(1), 36-40. Is Diversity in Computing a Moral Matter? In Inroads, by Deborah G. Johnson & Keith W. Miller
