<p>Technology in relation to disability is a complex phenomenon. Assistive technologies like wheelchairs, hearing and vision aids, crutches, and learning software may help people with disabilities to integrate into the mainstream; at the same time, these technologies may disrupt social lives, highlight their disabilities, and stigmatize them more. Technology is not just limited to assistive devices. Information and communications technology (ICT), like smartphones, various software, and internet, particularly cyberspace, may reduce the scope of embarrassment and stigma associated with face-to-face physical interaction and bring the other side of technology into the lives of disabled people. Against the background, the paper studies the meaning of technology in the everyday life of disabled youth, their identity formation with technologies, and the extent to which technology empowers or stigmatizes them. In-depth interviews were carried out in Kolkata with men and women with physical disabilities between the age group of 18 to 30 years. The sample size was thirty. Technologies may diminish or enhance status depending on their social meanings. There is a difference in the kind of technologies used, by whom, in what socio-cultural context, and the symbolic values attached to them.</p>
