  The wheelchair vs. stairs example was a great learning experience and shift in perspective. Thank You for the episode.

  I've been playing PC Games since 1993. I am a C5 C6 Quadriplegic who has No functional Motor function in any of My Fingers on either Hand making Using A PC Mouse and Ability to Click Mouse Buttons impossible. So, I rigged A PC Optical Mouse to work for me without the need or Use of any of My Fingers to Click Mouse Buttons. Well enough to play BF4 Multiplayer and any game I want to. Please design A PC Mouse for Physically Challenged Gamers such as myself who does not have Use of his/her Fingers who can't Operate A Gaming Controller.

  I totally agree. This statement got me thinking a lot about how I design things and if I've inadvertently put in barriers into my products. I'm affected by the color blindness issue, but with yellow and some shades of green. I can't tell them apart even if they are placed next to each other. Inclusive design is something I never knew about but is very important.
