@ScopicEngineer on #Accessibilty and challenges in the #tech landscape:
"I always say that if it’s on the Internet and not illegal, it must be accessible, and if it’s inaccessible, I want to know why. I know this means I will be on the hot seat of many moral and ethical technological arguments, but when it comes to future tech, I want to be there. If disabled people and others in the accessibility field aren’t having these arguments and discussing accessibility, who will do it? Shutting down any exploration means the accessibility of future tech is bleak because, as we have repeatedly seen, technology will be built without any thought to disability and accessibility. Given that much of this newer technology will be imposed on the masses without want or need, it’s essential that everyone has access to investigate, and subvert as needed."
