I was very frustrated with Erin's video. First of all, I am thankful that I can read and see because I could not hear a thing. I had all the volume turned up to high and still had to lean into the speakers to be able to hear anything. I had to watch it a couple of times and rewind parts of it to read the subtitles that went too fast. They did, however, make many good points in the video about the importance of testing out websites. I did not know that 1 in 2 people will be disabled at one point in their life. Those are really good odds. The woman in the video brought up a great point about money. Meeting the needs of disabled people online is important not only to make it easier for them, but also because they are a large part of your audience and also income. She mentioned that disabled people will be more likely to shop online rather than go to the store. Making the website function properly is important for your pocketbook!

Some sixteen million Americans have eye conditions that glasses cannot correct. There are many programs and technologies available to aid visually impaired individuals. This video demonstrates one technology called LowBrowse. This helps people with low vision to be able to browse the internet. Whatever the cursor is hovering over will be blown up at the top of the screen. Other programs can be difficult to navigate because they only magnify one portion of the screen. LowBrowse allows the lower portion of the screen to remain at normal size and displays the magnified portion at the top. This technology is completely free and once you set your preferences they will automatically appear wherever you go on the internet. It can also read text out loud.
