The internet is everything. But is it accessible? - Marketplace
Recently, we spent some time digging into just how crucial internet access is during the pandemic . But even if you have access to the internet, many parts of it are still not accessible. The Americans with Disabilities Act turns 30 years old this summer. A lot of the tech that makes things convenient can be game-changing for people with disabilities, such as screen readers that help visually impaired people read websites or software that lets us type with our voice.
