Thanks TED, you're what I put on when I want to hear a slew of mundane crap that'll help lull me to sleep.

+krunoslav stifter I mean she provides examples of how the perspective of a disabled person and the desire to engineer something for their disability resulted in creations that benefited everyone and may never have been created if not for the need to help pre disabled. She provides examples of how that's true, why don't her examples count for you?

Great point!

Unbelievable Story! I love your approach!

Hmm. I always thought deaf people had trouble enunciating words because, though they could see the shape you have to make with your mouth to say a word, they couldn't really hear the subtleties. It's interesting to me, then, that she lost her hearing starting from age 10. I'm not gonna pretend to understand how these things work, but it's interesting to note.

Well this was terrible.

Muito bom !

Sharon Needles would be a perfect person to do a TED talk!

I believe that this shouldn't be at the hand of government through force. I talked with a paintball facility owner a few years ago. The government came by and told him he needed a disabled entrance and washroom..... for disabled customers he never had. When you FORCE a local business to comply, it drives his costs up (in this case upwards of $50,000) and those costs then either get passed down to the customer (inflation), the owner fires an employee or two, or goes out of business. So moral of the story, don't force people to comply. If there is a huge demand for disabled paintball, trust me, someone will front the cost, when they have the capital in the bank.

People in the comment section who are saying she's wrong and that "disabled people are not an asset but a burden" must be incredibly unaware of how many people are given the label "disabled." A lot of times, disabled means "different from the norm." They just can't always see it. A lot of people with ADD are incredibly creative and provide a lot of entertainment on YouTube. The list goes on. One example of a more immediately apapparent disabled person: the leading designer for slaughterhouses in the US (being more humane, efficient, sanitary) is autistic. She got into the minds of the animals to a degree "normal people" couldn't fathom and thus used their natural behavior to our advantage. I'll leave it there but there are so many more examples out there.

"13 minutes of a speaker bragging about themselves on stage"

is it fair that 1% of the population holds all the wealth needed for all to survive and not go without???

Great! Do the thing you like and make it meaningful !

Огромное спасибо за русские субтитры!

5:00.... "Because we have functional Ears!!!" It is not reasonable to accommodate disabilities except on a per instance basis. A much more viable solution is utilizing technology to "cure" a disability.

I have a better idea, let focus on curing and preventing disabilities.

Most of the time something sparks a need to create something, and it is designed. Then as it is put through scenarios adjustments are made. Thinking about how to design it for disabled people would come naturally soon enough. Speeding up that process might be good, either it would happen.

Maybe I'm just weird but I really hate when they try to make the intros "engaging" and creative, it just makes me cringe and click away from the video.

Helping people who are disabled might help our humanity, but in all other terms probably does not. And before PC people start freaking out, I'm not attacking disabled individuals, I simply disagree with the argument in the title.
"I believe that losing my hearing was one of the greatest gifts I've ever received," says Elise Roy. As a disability rights lawyer and design thinker, she knows that being Deaf gives her a unique way of experiencing and reframing the world -- a perspective that could solve some of our largest problems. As she says: "When we design for disability first, you often stumble upon solutions that are better than those when we design for the norm." TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.
