Our Dialogue on Disability looks at how technology is changing what is possible for people with disabilities. Known as "effective access technology," it can help people in many different ways.
We also discuss the documentary, Fixed: The Science Fiction of Human Enhancement, which asks whether technology can go too far in enhancing human abilities. It airs Tuesday at 10:00 p.m. on WXXI-TV. Our guests:
