Protect Your Rights and the ADA Before It’s Too Late!
As early as Wednesday, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 620, the ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017, which will require individuals with disabilities to jump through additional obstacles to enforce their right to access under the ADA. This bill will remove the consequences for businesses with architectural barriers that violate the ADA until an individual with a disability is denied access and provides a specific legal notice describing the denial of access and nature of the barrier. The individual with a disability must then wait up to six months for the business to make “substantial progress” in removing the barrier. Additionally, advocates fear that the legislation may be expanded to include the ADA’s applicability to the internet. This bill would set a dangerous precedent of making the rights of people with disabilities more difficult to enforce than other civil rights.

Like a true millennial, she noticed one thing in particular: that these tools seemed stuck in the last century.

How to Send Text Messages with Alexa
If you have an Android phone, you can now send SMS messages in the US using your Echo. There’s a catch, however. It only works with Android phones (running Version 5.0 or later) and according to Amazon, there’s no plan to expand to iOS anytime soon because Apple does not provide third parties with access to its API.
