Accessible tech makes better tech for everyone | Nina Baliga | TEDxSalem

We’re ALL going to experience some type of disability in our life. The best products are coming from places where they think deeply about inclusive design and accessibility. The future of technology depends on it, because designing tech with disabilities in mind, turns out to be designing great tech for everyone. Nina is the Managing Partner for Breaking the Bias, a program and micro-learning platform that helps companies and individuals create tools, methods, and strategies to build more inclusive workplaces. As a child of immigrants, Nina has always been passionate about social justice and improving the lives of marginalized people. She began her career in the non-profit world working to empower underrepresented communities, then went on to get an MBA before she decided to teach herself front-end web development and user experience design. In 2017, she and her team became finalists at the Go Code Colorado hackathon, and co-founded diversity, a women-founded startup focused on creating an equitable and inclusive tech industry. With nearly twenty years of experience in non-profit and for-profit organizations, she is a serial entrepreneur combining her community organizing, business, leadership, and app development skills. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Dominos is not doing any favors here in India, their application is still inaccessible. Their excuse is that we should order by phone where as all the deals and price savers are on their application. How is this a fair deal?
