Enabling an Accessible Web 2.0 is a paper written by Becky Gibson IBM Emerging Technologies . I was unable to highlight (not sure why). I found that this article is very similar to a lot of the assigned reading. The article discuss key points:" The original Web was not perfect but with some work by Web developers it could be used by all. Now we are entering the next generation of the Web - Web 2.0. It is all about interaction, collaboration, and social networking It is more dynamic and fluid and no longer just static pages of information. This presents yet another challenge for people with disabilities. These new interaction models are pushing the limits of the technologies of the Web and the ability of assistive technologies to interpret the changing face of the Web. This paper describes new technologies and tools being developed to help enable accessibility for Web 2.0."
