How well does your computer adapt to you? Or does that seem like a silly question? Computers are just barely becoming an extension of our own capabilities. In order for them to reach that important role the industry had to have some standardization. And the reason they are now affordable is this industry standardization. Kind of a one size fits all approach. Oh, there are improvements in software every few months. And there are improvements in
hardware as well. But computers aren’t really adapting as much as trying to appeal to consumers. An affordable monitor still has a flat screen, a keyboard is still usually the QWERTY design, and the mouse is still something you push around on the desk.
My wife has PD so this has become an important area for me. We communicate now with many more people, in more places around the world. We talk (literally), play card games like Euchre, collaborate on PLWP projects, exchange photos, plan vacations, and other activities. We don’t want to give up the benefits as her capabilities change. So what are the alternatives?
