    The article submitted by Wendy Dryden, Apple - Education - Special Education, really made me think about what kind of things that I take for granted by using that people with disabilities use. There were several things in this article that I use out of convenience. One example is that I use text-to-speech when I'm lazy and don't want to read. I think Apple does well in promoting features that make computing accessible for people with disabilities. I do love apple products. I remember playing around with the voice over in the iPhone with my blind cousin. He taught me to how to use that a while back. Also, now that I have the iPhone 5 and have Siri, I use the heck out of that, which is another feature that I use for convenience. This was an very interesting and informational site. Thanks, Wendy!

    I also wanted to make a short comment on one of the articles posted by Robbie Reed, How Do People Use The Computer Without Hands. This article had a link to show where people could use twitter with their brain signals! How amazing is this. If this is possible, then think about people with no limbs....it makes me want to say...why hasn't more been done? That may be stretching things...but it's possible!
