Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

On this week’s show

“Technology: with Steve Monigatti”

Chaos strikes when Sam realises that he has not set up an interview with a famous Marathon runner, but with Vision Australia’s Access Technology Service Lead.

Steve talks about the ways to make home electronics more accessible, and the pros and cons of various phone and computer operating systems.

Meanwhile, Steven; Heidi and Shaun share their various trials and tribulations in a technical world that does not appear to be designed for Blind and Vision Impaired People.

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.
