Technology Advances That Do Good.


Technology  can often be debated as for whether these advancements are doing more good than harm in our society. I wanted to focus on the good that technology advances have done when it comes to the disabled community. Silicon Valley has a lead "employment" group and disclosing yourself as a disabled individual isn't one of them. Though many inventions aren't specifically directed towards disabled individuals, they can really help change lives for many disabled people. In the video above, this young lady now has the opportunity to take pictures thanks to Google glass. Google glass opens so many doors for any disabled individual with very limited mobility. This advancement in technology does really promote this man and machine merging dynamic. Though there is some controversy with this man and machine dynamic, this type of technology advancement helps promote equality and give disabled individuals able-bodied opportunities.
