Reflective Writing on Apple-Perspective; Apple Inclusion and Diversity.

Activity No.4

Technology is one of the most useful things in this world. It helps a lot in making our
lives easier and simpler, especially to those people with health conditions or impairments. There
are definitely more than a billion people experiencing health conditions and having technologies
that can help them with their daily lives are so important, and that's what the Apple company
did.

Apple, considering this perspective is really amazing. People who are using their
products will be able to appreciate themselves more. Many people with health conditions may
suffer from bullying, discrimination and all. Sometimes, we can't deny the fact they were treated
unfairly. But with this idea of Apple, including their perspective in their new upgrade can be
really helpful to them. In the video, there were several health conditions presented and Apple as
a diverse company didn't even think twice to consider features that can help them to access
technology in the easiest way possible. Examples of these features presented in the video are
door detection, live captions, voiceovers, and the most famous Siri. In short, Apple responds to
everyone's needs.

Being a person with physical impairment isn't easy. There are times that you may feel
less useful, especially if you can't do something other people can. That's why as an apple user,
these features are really beneficial. People who use Apple products can access technology just
like normal people without impairments because the technology itself can adjust for them. I just
like the idea of considering PWDs' situation when it comes to upgrading their product. They
don't eliminate the fact that there are several people using their product and not all of them are
capable of using it as it is without the special features. Despite the fact that apple is a little bit
pricey than other brands, we can't deny that it is really helpful especially to those who are in
need of AI assistance in accessing technology.
