Hey everyone!
I trust your week was super. I feel I got a lot done yet there is always more huh? smiles. Anyhow thought I would touch on technology today. Technology is wonderful and if not for forward thinking people and advancements you would not be reading this great blog on the web. As things grow you will find that technology is forever changing.
I wanted to put in my 2 cents though and caution you on using the latest greatest technology right out the gate. I feel you should test it some first and know what you can about it before jumping right on it. I also think you need to consider all that is involved with it.
My example is with a popular web conference room software that is widely being used today on the web. They have users and clients all over the world. Recently they upgraded their web conference rooms with java. Java is great and has many aplications. I even use it to create some great effects with my pics and tabs on some of my sites. However when it comes to java and text with blind people such as myself. Well there lies a problem. Java to a screan reader that reads text is jsut a picture to screan reader. So any java on a page is seen as a pic and not read by the computer to a blind user.
This particular web conference room went and turned their text chat area and the menu's into java. Therefore eliminating the use of these areas by screan readers and then making the web conference room useless for blind users with screan readers.
Now to the company the java looks great ads in some helpful featurs and such. But did they mean to eliminate use for their blind users? Probally not and most likely don't even know yet.
So technology is great and helpful but in some cases can cause troubles such as this web conference room software this week. I then caution you to play with it first know how and what you need it for and decide weather or not it will do more harm then good before addig into what you do and use.
Expect Miracles...
