Are You Connected 24-7
When you see someone walking down the street talking to no one, is
your
first thought that they need to go the nut house or do you conclude
that
they are deep in conversation on their cell phone using a nearly
invisible
earphone and mic? Americans seem to have a love/hate relation****p
with the
mobile phone. Some people take them everywhere and are talking to
friends,
family, businesses and more all day. Others get actually angry when
they
see someone talking on the cell in a grocery store, in a restaurant
and
surely while driving!
Cell phones have different degrees of accessibility problems for
people
with disabilities depending on the disability and on the features of
the
particular phone. However, in recent years, vendors have recognized
the
problem and have taken initial steps to compensate for their
inaccessibility.
When is a phone a camera?
When is a phone a Web browser?
When is a phone a calendar and an address book?
Where can you learn about the accessibility problems?
Where can you learn about some of the solutions?
Where can you obtain a cell phone with accessible features built in
it?
EASI is presenting a brief live Webinar providing an overview of this
topic:
