AUDIO: Is Technology Assisting Disability?

At 40 years aged he was inept by a cadence and left with really small paltry transformation in his head and limbs.

But with the help of technology he can live exclusively and has recovered a few of the liberty he lost.

He can verbalise using content to voice technology, an apple P.C. and an android phone.

But he worries that as technology develops it could divide infirm people similar to him.

Multi-gesture controls - such as two-finger scrolling on the iphone - for example, are unfit for people in his position.

He moreover questions either open source program could stance a aegis to accessibility if adhoc developments do not recollect infirm users as they expostulate to pierce forward.
