Dare ObasanjoMicrosoft has always had a great philosophy around accessibility and introduced me to the idea of temporary disability. It’s a great way to broaden one’s perspective on how much impact making your product more accessible has.
John Beales@carnage4life temporary disability is thought technology that we should all embrace.
A couple of examples:
1. I look 100% able-bodied, but I messed up my knees learning to run in early January, to the point where it hurt to walk, and the “priority” seating on public transit was a blessing.
2. My brother had an angle grinder accident several years ago and was wheelchair-bound for a time. He discovered pretty quick just how wide spaces need to be to manoeuvre a wheelchair, and just how hard it is to go up a steep ramp.
