The big life fix

Although it will only be online for thirty days or so, and although I have a quibble with it’s use of the term ‘fix’ as it implies something is broken, I think I’ll flag this bbc programme up. The Big Life Fix was on last night; we caught the end of it, having been out, so I just rewatched it. I think it’s great. It’s about how technology can improve people’s lives, including articles on bringing internet access to remote welsh villages and remedying the judder people with alzheimer’s experience with a special wrist strap. Thus it touched on disability, and struck me as strongly advocating the social model. We were also fairly chuffed to see Ross Aitkin, one of the guys who created the Lynstrument , on it as part of the team. interesting stuff, then, and I’m now quite looking forward to next week’s programme.
