(Photo : cdn.britannica.com)Improving the way to accessing technology is important for PWD and non-PWDS too. Creating interfaces that are customizable and adaptive for any kind of use will be a shock as to how well it adapts.
Everyone is surrounded by technology andaccessing technologyis important just like breathing. The speed of how much it developed is blinding, with several options for how to access it. This translates to convenience and assistive technology, enables those with disabilities still need help to use the internet.So, making access possible through more assistive technology should be done. If only to encourage more use, whether able or disabled.
In response to the needed of those, with a limitation for ready access to technology like the visual, hearing, and physical incapacity too. This list of adaptive access has made the internet more accessible than ever. There is one gap to breached, which is different cognitive functions that should be developed later on. In 2020, hopes are high to bridge this gap sooner than expected.
Blindness is not a hindrance for access if the interface is based onsound access that the blind personcan hear. It is a difference for those who do not have hearing, which makes it hard to translate sound instead. These problems of deafness and blindness should be studied and improve information access for these people.
It should not be neglected that even normal people are subject to having a hard time, interacting with interfaces for real too. Things were simple before just a dial or a button, that is it. Now complex digital is the in thing, some are plainly just as disabled from this. Not all are tech-savvy, and the majority would simply go for less complex. Technology is good, but if it alienates the users, there is something wrong.
Solving this conundrum can be done in two ways, and one is coming soon with another in development. Some technologies will benefit PWDS but are good only because the PWD needs the tech. But, anyone who can access the tech fine will find it hard to use it. It is a give and go for tech customized for PWDS and non-PWDS.
One of these assistive techs isMorphicthat is an OS extension that customizes a computer, to the specs of the unique user. For example, it fixes the appearance of the desktop to help the PWD or non-PWD navigate the screen. This is very convenient for everyone and makes thing automatic for the user too. Everything is so intuitive that it even falls back to the default on its own. Technology like this is very easy to use and simplifies access without complex actions,
For the long-term improvement for internet access, that would mean aa lot of innovation from tech companies producing smart devices. Instead of making their own versions (tech companies), it is better to have standard interface for normal users. Then, third parties will build the application from ground up to let PWDS use computers too.
One example of these user-adaptive apps that can be made to create customized interfaces for both. This is shocking to everyone as computers have the benefit of easier use. Not all tech producers will give away their tech so freely, which is another problem. So, this is a problem that needs solutions to make it feasible.
Getting the simplest way toaccessing technologyis a must, and expanding access will make great strides for any use. Nothing ever stays the same and more ways to access a computer, should be shocking for everyone concerned.
