Going to the movies is an experience that many people take for granted. Enjoying the simple pleasures of media such as films, television and the latest cell phone is not always an easy option for people with disabilities. Technology is being created to make media more accessible to everyone.

This video features insight into new technology and the creation of accessible media from Larry Goldberg, Director of the National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH TV. WGBH invented closed captioning, which has become a staple in basic media accessibility. 

Also, Doug Ruffin, the founder of the Boston Music Coalition talks about why accessible media is important and how it changes the lives of people with disabilities.

hi people

This may not be the most beneficial place to request this, but I'm looking for a pest management company within the pittsburgh region and have no way to find out who's the best. I found this company that's really close to me and wished to see if any one has any evaluations on them. Priority Pest Control, 524 Ross St, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 - (412) 346-6413

The expertise snhies through. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
