Is Technology Accessible? (How Do You Increase the Font?)

Marcia Loewenstein | May 17, 2005, 01:39 PM

My Mom just got an iMac. Most of it was up and running before I stopped by (except AOL). I wanted to show her some AAA rates on a hotel site, so while I was there she installed AOL - didn't need any help there.

.....but, as soon as she opened the browser she said, 'I need to make the font bigger'

We tried to find out how to increase the fonts (after searching for AAA rates unsuccessfully - another blog topic). The only thing we could find easily was the magnification tool on the iMac (we spent maybe 10-15 minutes).

So, where are the initiatives around accessibile technology... If an issue today, it will most certainly be an issue in the future at home and in the office....
