Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This years theme is sustainable technology. Technology which supports people with disabilities isnt always uniquely for the purpose it is designed for - developing better batteries to allow people in powered wheelchairs to be able to go further before recharging or being lighter so that the overall weight of a wheelchair is less is one example - I can think of lots of commercial uses for a lightweight longer life battery that has nothing to do with wheelchairs. So maybe commercial companies could think about adaptive technology when they are designing batteries for electric cars??? Just a thought. un.org/disabilities/default.asp?id=111
