This is What Technology is All About - Helping People

Written by on April 26, 2004

I found this article on BBC's news website, and it made me feel good. It is about SMS, and how it can help an 81 year-old father and her deaf daughter communicate.

This is exactly why technology exists - not for the geeks to have new toys to play with - but to make the world a better place. In this case for people with disabilities, but technology can help anyone - if made right.
