Let’s GO Accessibility!

The best for everyone. Let’s make this hashtag tendency #accessibility.

I decided to named this article: Let’s Go Accessibility because I believe in the big wave coming up for those who hasn’t got the same possibility as the common user.

Accessibility is keyword we are going to highlight: #accessibility for everyone, everywhere. Imagine yourself living the life at blind, everything you did or you are used to do will change, everything will be harder, wake up, cooking, running, training, making the breakfast, dinner, going to any place, each possibility that is on your mind right now will change and turn it harder.

Accessibility is everything that helps you to make your life easier, if you have a difficulty at the time to walk, maybe a ramp on the sidewalk will help you to walk above the street. If you are blind and you have a talking traffic light in every street, this will improve your quality of life at the time to walk and visit places on any city.

Technology has been improved with the time, but the thing here is very funny because we live in a society who recently made the touch screen for mobiles (touch screen was made in 80s but recently implemented in every single object few years ago). With the first iPhone in the market, Steve Jobs in to top of the innovators of this XXI century, Apple as the best company ever, technology raised higher and from that moment everything began to change, for good, but for someones for bad/hard/ or with N/A.

Can you really imagine someone using a phone (touchscreen/smartphone) without see what is happening?

I will answer for you to this question. No, it will be a pain on th** *ss.

Accessibility is here for help and improve technology too, everytime we create or use an app is going to be people who are not going to be able to use it for well.

I will focus on the blind community: the biggest niche inside Disabilities. The blinds represent almost more than 60 % of these conditions and they are still being neglected by the industry. The blinds don’t live for tech and tech neither; this is a mutual fact. But blind users need technology to be accessible and technology doesn’t need to be. I wrote an article about the introduction to accessibility, please take a deep look inside this beautiful post.

Luckily, we can say that big companies had took care about this, Android, from Google, made and improves every day: TalkBack; iOS do the same with Siri VoiceOver.

Accessibility needs to be everywhere to create useful stuff.
