In JohnChat EP31, we once again invite Yu Wei to join us in discussing assistive technology and its impact on daily life, particularly for individuals with disabilities. Yu Wei helps clarify and expand our traditional understanding of assistive devices, broadening the concept to include everyday items like eyeglasses and smartphones. Together, they explore how modern technology—such as smartphone accessibility features, voice assistants, and health monitoring apps—can significantly enhance personal independence and convenience. The conversation also addresses how evolving technologies, like advanced features in video games or digital menus, can sometimes create new barriers for certain users. Ultimately, both speakers advocate for inclusive design and diverse options to ensure that technology truly benefits everyone. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
