Applications for all
The last two years were fascinating as far as improving accessibility is concerned. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated processes and forced all of us to use advanced technological tools. We got used to working, studying, shopping, and receiving health and government services through websites, apps and video calls.
In the new era of fast-developing technology, we will all soon live in smart homes and speak to the television, the lights, the blinds and the kitchen appliances. We will live in smart cities which will help us locate handicapped parking, while blind people will be able to navigate the streets without the help of guide dogs. Businesses will be virtual, and it will be possible to pay without going to the cashier. Deaf people will receive assistance in sign language or transcription. All government services will be accessible through the Internet in a simple way, even for people who are not tech-savvy.
This is an historical opportunity to create an accessible future that is much more convenient for everyone, and especially for people with disabilities.
