A lot of able-bodied people don’t realize just how difficult it can be for wheelchair users to complete a regular, everyday task like grocery shopping.
Grocery stores offer plastic hand baskets, but those are unstable and uncomfortable. There are also motorized shopping carts offered at grocery stores, but those require the wheelchair user to leave their own wheelchair, an expensive and personal piece of equipment, unattended while they shop.
US Tech Future is a Verizon-led community-focused initiative working to engage the local community in a discussion about technology and how it can improve the lives of local residents for their benefit and the benefit of the community as a whole.
Our mission is to engage with citizens and community stakeholders in USA to provide information on how technology can work to have a dramatic impact on the way we work and live in our communities.
