53. we can't read your instagram story & other accessibility musings
hi hello hey, let’s talk about accessibility!
You may remember we did an episode last year on assistive technology and the tools we use to better use technology. On today’s episode, we’re shifting the focus to accessibility and the things in our lives that are easy or difficult to use. The difference between the two is that regardless of what tools we use to make things easier to see, if something isn’t accessible, it’s built incorrectly and our tools can’t compensate. We hope you learn something today and enjoy our examples of good and bad accessibility, both in the digital world and the “real” built world.
