Technology for people with disabilities
I personally believe this is a great thing for anyone with a disability that can limit them. The four main disabilities that may require technology to assist them are: 1) hearing loss 2) vision impairment 3) speech disorders 4) learning impairment. Technology for people with disabilities are so advanced. Some of this technology can speak for someone who can't. All they have to do is type what they want to say. There is some technology that you can speak into and it will type what you said so someone who might be hard of hearing can read it. There are even magnifying glasses you can connect to the computer screen for the visual impaired to use. Technology has come a long way and I only see it progressing as new devices are coming out for people with disabilities. I look forward to seeing the new devices that will come out in the future.

This a great point you make about technology helping those with learning disablities.Technology excludes no one! In the sense that once you gain access to it your good to go. technology is great mechanism to bring together student from all different backgrounds to just have fun with, either the game they play online or the blog they maybe allowed to create in class.
