How "Democratization" Became A Buzzword

Too Long; Didn't Read

A buzzword is simply a term that is particularly fashionable at a particular time. "Democratizing" is a powerful word, stemming from an amalgamation of the Greek word dēmos, meaning the people, and the suffix kratia, meaning power. Turning this into an action means bringing the power to the people. But more often than not, creating a more inclusive product means things like reducing price barriers, building in accessibility for various disabilities, and ultimately empathizing with a diverse user base.
