“Being born with a visual impairment in the 80s I thought there was something wrong with me as I wasn’t able to fully interact with the world. I realise now that there was something wrong with the world and not me. For the first time in history disabled people are now able to interact and contribute to the world like never before and a big thanks is down to the world becoming digital.”
