Universal Access
Posted by Tom Fuller in Uncategorized at June 11th, 2007
I touched on this topic before, but I want to ask a question a different way: If technology makes it possible to provide talking maps activated by an RFID chip in a mobile phone, does government have a responsibility to make this available to the blind? Does it have a responsibility to make a text version available to the deaf? Should it provide localised versions to tourists and immigrants?
Does creating a technological innovation also immediately create a responsibility for how it’s used?
