    I really enjoyed the video that Erin Sheehan posted. When the one lady was showing the accessibility options and it worked on that page, but when she went back to the original website, none of the settings were saved. I would be extremely frustrated if I depended on the accessibility settings and then it didn't work when I needed it. I also found it interesting that most disabled people depend more on the internet than others and yet they struggle trying to use it. I am surprised that with technology and what it is today, that there isn't a bigger push to make websites accessible to everyone.

How to make the web accessible to everyone - 1 views

  •  
    I found this article interesting because it addresses that although there are many resources available to web designers, people still aren't making their websites accessible to everybody. The one thing that caught my was about the WebVisum that allows the captcha images to be read. However, what really stood out to me was the captcha farms" where workers are paid to break the captcha code so that spammers can get past that. I know I find those captchas really annoying, so to think that people have found a way to break that, what are we going to have to do next to prove that it is a human trying to access it. Whatever might come next will make it even more difficult for people with disabilities to access the information they need.
