Anti-tech is anti-disabled people.
Tech is what makes many of our lives possible.
Much accessibility relies on tech.
Many accommodations are tech!Without technology, many disabled folks wouldn’t be able to read, write, use social media – or the Internet at all, watch TV and videos, work, take online classes, take notes in class, record the class, have social lives, draw, do other hobbies, leave the house, take fucking care of themselves.
That story about the teacher who banned laptops just fuels this kind of thinking. Bet neither the teacher nor the article’s author even had a passing thought that technology is more than just a distraction, or that, y’know, disabled people exist?
Sincerely,
A multiply physically and mentally disabled person who wants you to quit your ableism.
