We Are All Temporarily Enabled, with Phillip Tiongson
What if accessible design was for everybody, starting with … ourselves?
What if we are all only temporarily enabled? How can a broader philosophy of access benefit every visitor? What does a WWII veteran have in common with a mom carrying a baby? Could TikTok and the rise of “quiet social media” teach us something we missed?
Phillip Tiongson (Potion) joins host Jonathan Alger (C&G Partners) to discuss the realization that “We Are All Temporarily Enabled”. Along the way: interactive cinema, a change of heart, and the story of a tippy boat.
