I’ve seen an amazing short movie in YouTube showing that Yahoo adds new technology to their website so people with disabilities can browse the internet easily.
Yahoo has accessibility lab, where they bring product team where they has to make sure that their invented product is accessible. They try to experience by them selves how does the person with disability interact and use the computer. And then they try to invent new technology where they can remove the barrier for the disabled individuals.
For example, people with physical disabilities who cannot use keyboard, can have access to computer with banging a switch.
Another way is to have the engineer Places a Reflective dot on their forehead, so they are able to move their forehead and move the cursor. I would say this is an amazing and a caring technology where people with disabilities are really considered.
