CR04
The lecture included ways of obtaining ways of easy access for the disabled. Everyday things like sidewalks and steps don't seem like a big deal to a person who does not have a disability. I liked the idea of having the class actually try to find a way in and out of a building with out using the stairs or making a project of something of the sort. Making a documentary would be a good idea. Such as discovering the struggles of the different obstacles that a disabled person would come across in a single day.
The movie clip of the newly designed automatic wheel chair was a great idea but there was just something about it that didn't seem like it could fit everyone and could potentially be a dangerous thing in some hands. Not necessarily a bad thing but the whole balancing on two wheels just doesn't seem practical in some cases. Such as someone who weighs a great amount, let's say 250-300 lbs. Balancing on two wheels while reaching for high objects.. does not seem like the greatest idea. Although the movie did just show a few things about the wheel chair and they were all really good things and ideas that could work in some cases. But there is a reason why the chair is not popular today and those could be factors holding it back. All in all the movie and the lecture did get me thinking more about the disabled and things that could make their lives as easy to move around as ours.
