Because (in the USA) the ADA exists, and has been shown to help even non disabled people. Elevators were mandated on multi floor buildings because of wheelchairs, but they have a benefit of also being available for non disabled people who have their hands full of groceries.
Also, what is “normal” to you won’t be the same as someone else. Is a wheelchair bound person normal? A highly autistic person? What about high functioning autism? If you’re going to define “normal”, you’d be drawing a line somewhere where you can’t please everyone.
- quirkybeats1 6y agoI think you may have read a specific bit of that posters sentence and taken it as a direct attack and not the fact that you are 100% in agreement with them. They are saying that with the way society is moving forward, if you do not own a smartphone you are not considered "normal". We have the ADA in the USA for this reason, so that all aspects of society are accessible. There is nothing currently that prevents you being excluded if you do not have a smartphone and are therefore not considered "normal".
