Posted by Vint Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. This milestone legislation bans persons or companies from discriminating against anyone with limited abilities. It’s hard to imagine a world in which the right to participate in activities commonly enjoyed by the bulk of the population are denied or inadequately accommodated, but that was the case before ADA.Google Book Search , to providing ready and easy-to-use captions on YouTube , to including a built in screenreader and a text-to-speech engine in Android , to introducing new extensions on Chrome to make online text easier to read, we’re serious about honoring our mission to make the world’s information universally accessible and useful. You can keep up with our progress at www.google.com/accessibility .
So why no Google Doodle honoring ADA. Had to google you just to find this!
ReplyDeleteOf course, in most of the world there is no such thing as ADA and no such thing as handicapped access.
