RE: Interactive Tech History Lesson - OLPC: Following in the Heritage of Logo & the MIT Media Lab
Since I am writing my thesis on the subject of technology accessibility, I feel obligated to point out usability issues as I come across them... The animated .GIF on the above referenced assignment description made it EXTREMELY difficult to read the posted text. I had to hold my hand up to the screen to block the image as I made my way through.
Additionally, according to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) accessibility recommendations, web developers should take care not to include flashing images in the design of their websites as the practice has been known to trigger seizures (Guideline 2.3).
My thesis made me do it! :)
