I am actually convinced that people with disabilities of certain types might need the internet MORE than non-disabled folks.
For the record, I am biased. I am blind. I was pretty visually impaired most of my life and lost the rest of my vision as an adult. The internet is challenging, but doable. However, all of the things I use to use the internet I found when I was partly sighted or through friends with sight because it is a nightmare to just randomly search the web blind. I can do it. Google is accessible, but you never know about the sites you are going on being friendly or not until you are there.
