Description

The tools, systems, and devices that we use to work, communicate, and manage our day-to-day activities have made life more comfortable for almost everyone. Our digital transformation was meant to blur the lines of race, gender, age, and ability, but technology has more work to do to become truly inclusive, especially when considering the issue of accessible technology for those with disabilities

Our guest today is Jeff Aronow, Cato Network’s Support Operations Manager. Jeff is from the US and has worked in the tech industry for over 25 years. He was born with a condition called Ocular Albinism, which in the states rendered him legally blind. Upon moving to the UK he was upgraded to only Sight Impaired. With a visual acuity of 20/200 (or 6/60 if you are into the whole metric thing), we've asked Jeff to join us today to talk about his "view" on accessibility in the tech industry
