Efficiency is one of those things that means different things to different people. As an assistive technology specialist, I’m often asked about the efficiency of one thing or another and it’s one of the hardest questions to address.

One hot topic surrounding efficiency is that of the iPhone. Many claim that the iPhone is an “efficient” device while others claim that its very design makes it inefficient. At the center of this controversy is text entry and how it’s accomplished on the iPhone vS non touch screen devices.

Tonight, on the Assistive Technology show, we’ll take a look at what efficiency means. I’ll also demonstrate text entry on the iPhone VS other devices and will share my own views and experiences on the topic.

When? The Assistive Technology show takes place between 7:00-9:00 PM, EDT, that’s 2300-0100 UTC. For more information, or to listen to the show after the fact, please visit the Assistive Technology show home page.

I look forward to again bringing you the Assistive Technology show.
