    access your content in ways you don't expect. 0:09
    Let's take a moment to consider some possible alternatives. 0:12
    You never know what your user is experiencing outside of your application. 0:16
    Or how it affects the way they interact with it. 0:21
    They might have a temporary illness or 0:24
    injury that affects how they access your app. 0:26
    A person on crutches or 0:29
    a parent pushing a stroller might only be able to spare one hand to use a phone. 0:30
    The color combination you chose might work well on a large screen indoors, but 0:36
    be more difficult to see when a user is outside dealing with glare from the sun. 0:41
    This leads into thinking about how making accessibility a priority 0:46
    can benefit all users. 0:50
    The classic example is curb cuts. 0:52
    They were made to allow people using wheelchairs to safely move to and 0:55
    from sidewalks, but benefit shoppers with carts, 0:59
    parents with strollers, lifters who are sore from the gym, and so many others. 1:03
    As we move forward through this course, 1:08
    make sure you're keeping all of these people in mind. 1:10
    You've done a great job taking everything in so far. 1:13
    We've defined some goals for building accessible apps, 1:17
    gotten started learning to use several different assistive technologies, and 1:20
    stopped to consider how our perception of our users 1:24
    might be limited by a preconceived notions about disability. 1:27
    And we are just getting started. 1:31
    Finish up this stage with a quick quiz, and I'll see you in the next video, 1:34
    where we'll begin talking through the accessibility standards. 1:37
