Surveying archival material from across fifty years of practice, and leveraging multi-disciplinary theoretical perspectives from digital studies, design studies and disability studies, this chapter uses a form of ideational history, to evidence shifting linguistic habits and frames of reference around the construct of the ‘digital user’, at once both sequential and enduring: from the user as ‘operator’ (set within a system-orientated context of organizational efficiency); to the user as ‘individual’ (amidst priorities of usability and experience design); to—emerging today—the user as ‘actant’ (against which social value and agency are the new indices of success). In these different constructions, the ‘digital user’ moves from being part of the system, to outside system, to in the world, whilst its principal capability shifts from automation, to personalization to empowerment. Crucially, it is proposed here that it has been the role of accessible design (in particular, the design of digital with disability in mind) that has acted both as a key informant and agitator of this change, but also the practice through which this development can most usefully be seen.
