Microsoft are interviewing disabled people to figure out how to make products easier to use for everyone. “They are finding the expertise and ingenuity that arises naturally, when people are forced to live a life differently from most.”

I can attest to this. My wife can’t reach above her head or down to the ground, and I have a friend who only has the use of one hand. They’re very ingenious in finding alternative ways to do things, because the alternative is not to get those things done.
