Assistive Technology helps many disabled people overcome varriers in society daily. These new smart glasses listen to the conversation and disaply it as captions for the wearer to read. This is a great step forward, however, we need to remember that technology is only part of the solution to removing barriers in society.

Assistive Technology has limitations, and it is important that we continue to make changes in society to make the world more inclusive. In addition, assistive technology is often expensive and not within reach of those that need it most.
