II. Web Accessibility
2.1. Myths and Misunderstandings
When explaining him about my researches on web accessibility, one of my friends told me: “I doubt blind peoples can use the Internet or even a computer”.
One of the reasons web accessibility is so poorly implemented on most website, or even deliberately excluded, is that there are a lot of myths and misunderstandings about it. These misunderstandings can be about what exactly is web accessibility, how web accessibility must be implemented or about the disabilities themselves, which are still a taboo in some societies.
