One can really marvel at how technology, especially the Internet, has made things easier and faster for people to accomplish their tasks. Take for example if you want to search for a job, there are hundreds of job sites that can help you disseminate your resume. Another example is if you are a car owner and you want to get different quotes for car insurances, go online. There are sites where online car insurance quotes are available at the drop of hat and getting different quotes from different companies are available in just one site. Then my favorite example is when I want to cook a certain dish but I do not have the recipe for it, I just search the Internet and dozens of recipes for the same dish becomes available. Isn’t it fascinating? I could just go on and on but you know what I mean!
The building where I work was designed and built way before the concept of designing buildings to serve the needs of the physically disabled became popular. Floors have upper and lower levels where the elevators are located in the upper levels and the restrooms are located in the lower levels. It is very difficult for people in wheelchair or in crutches to work in this building because they would not be able to navigate going up or down a flight of stairs on their own to get to the bathroom or to take the elevator. Installing a stair lift is one alternative to make the building a bit more disabled friendly. Of course another alternative would be to demolish the entire building and build a new one. But that would not do since the building is a kind of an architectural landmark in the area.
