Future of Accessibility - The guys from the Shop Talk Podcast have an interesting discussion on this week's show. Dave mentions some of the accessibility projects he's been involved with, and specifically about his experience working with blind users. He describes some of the issues they face, the most frustrating of which is getting to the end of a set of steps only to be blocked by an accessibility issue. That sounds horrific, but with events in my current situation the way they are I can sympothise a lot.

I have the feeling that accessibility is going to play a bigger role in how we design digital experiences going forward, and it won't necessarily only be for people with disabilities. With AI the possibilities for dark patterns proliferating is increased significantly, and with that there is the possibility that access to services could be restricted in some way. Maybe we need something like aria rules for all aspects of technology. #
