27: How to Make the Internet Accessible for Everyone, with Jennison Asuncion

APRIL 20, 2021

EPISODE NOTES

How often do you think about how you access the internet? Not in the general sense, but the actual act of accessing it: the descriptive text you read underneath an item for sale, the buttons you click or tap to signal an intent or complete an action, or an input field to type a credit card number, select a country or state, or scroll through a set of dates. This is the stuff that, for many of us, fades away as we aimlessly look at memes or news stories. But it's important. Vital, even. Jennison Asuncion, LinkedIn's Head of Accessibility Engineering Evangelism, dedicates his time to ensuring that the digital world is accessible to everyone.
