The disabled people should arm themselves with Information of Science and Technology. Deformity is a kind of beauty. Information of Science and Technology and Disabled People ----Experience of the journey of three
years of" Chinese Disabled Person's Service Network" Ⅰ. Preamble: Background materials of" Chinese disabled person's service network" " Chinese Disabled Person's Service Network"( www.2000888.com) was established by more than ten disabled persons on September 18, 1999 in Shenzhen. It provides a special network platform that the disabled personage serves for Chinese. Its registers, Network Society of Feitian District of Shenzhen, is a private social welfare enterprise in Shenzhen. All of 17 staff are disabled people except one driver. It is the disabled personage's outstanding demonstration unit that the collective obtained employment by oneself in the field of Information of Science and Technology. At present, there are three projects that websites can make profits and raise by oneself: making webpages and establishing data base; setting up programming of the LAN; running the small-scale Internet cafe and lottery ticket. Website offers 40 columns in 8 plates of the free service item to the disabled personage: (1)The offering of free server ASP space and mailbox; (2)Disabled person advertise for a life partner and making friends; (3)Recover and consult guide; (4)Information issue for disabled people employment; (5)Online training for network technology and the sign language; (6) Free charge of the online commercial counter for disabled people; (7)Charitable public good news information of the disabled people; (8)Providing the platform of helping and appealing for the disabled people. Over the past three years, supported by love of the government, enterprise and various circles of society, we have obtained certain achievements. Of 16 disabled staff members in website, a lot of people have already won the professional qualification of Information of Science and Technology. Disabled personage named Liu Yong, won the fifth place of making website in competition of international disabled person technical ability, as well as obtained the certificate of vocational technique awarded by Guangdong Labor Bureau. Website has more than 20,000 disabled members now. The website offers the free server room to more than one hundred disabled personages, linking with more than 300 Chinese websites about disabled people. We have organized and run 16 disabled personage's computer network free training classes successively, training more than 330 disabled persons including seven ones coming from Hong Kong. Addition to, we have helped 75 old men and 41orphans for computer training. Looking back the journey of the past three years, we deeply feel that to narrow the digital lack of mutual understanding that the development in science and technology brings of the information, we must depend on disabled personage oneself. Grasping Information of Science and Technology, it is difficult to begin and valuable to insisting on. We can start with life and develop to employment. I want to use my patience and time to change technical ability and experience of information. Information of Science and Technology is not remote from us. The following is the work experience over the past few years. We have some view about Information of Science and Technology correlate with disabled personage. please offer the friend make a comment. It is just my own opinion and maybe there are some limitations. Please give me some comments. Thank you very much. Ⅱ.
The disabled people's inferior position and advantage in the field of
Information of Science and Technology inferior position： (1) Heavy psychological obstacle Because of long-term low quality life, disabled people have heavy psychological obstacle and serious inertia. When they are about to study and use Information of Science and Technology, most of them have the two attitudes. One is that they are afraid of not learning it well, and the other is that they worry about there is no space for them to use it. In short, they lack studying enthusiasm and perseverance. (2) Low education Because of the limitations of one's own physical or mental conditions, most of them only received low education. It is more difficult for them to accept the theory knowledge and to study the systematical knowledge. (3) High cost of receiving further training or education Because disabled people need special help or expensive transportation equipment when they go out, this costs a lot of money. If the training center or educational institution dose not provide the board and lodgings, most of them can not conduct for a long time. Advantage:(1) Abundant study time Most disabled persons have few social activities, and they kill time only in the room. If they are very interested in Information of Science and Technology, they can spare plenty of time to learn it. (2) Specific professional direction Relative confinement life makes disabled persons calmly think some specific affaires. one software function can operate one hundred but not irritated, and being familiar can create skill. (3) Perfect thinking ability The life unable to move even a single step makes the disabled people to think and choose the best solution in advance at the time of doing every thing. This kind of thinking method in the training study of Information of Science and Technology can help them remedy the limitation of low education partly. 3. Characteristics of disabled people’s Information Science and Technology Training (1) Studying and training environment without obstacle In the training education of disabled people’s Information of Science and Technology, the concentration that should solve the board and lodging and set up a class. Offering a special consultation of network platform for answering questions and carrying on the exercise of with practice is very important. We have to provide instruction by going to their homes. These three ways should be combined together. We believe that if we can continue this way, we will cultivate a lot of skillful disabled people in Information of Science and Technology. (2) The perceptual knowledge accumulated of master and apprentice type teaching The disabled person learns to grasp the course of Information of Science and Technology, it would be best if the technical staff begins with concrete operation of teach-by-doing, But the fear psychology raised because of theory of knowledge bombing, when the perceptual knowledge reaches certain level, they can completely understand the theory knowledge. (3) Strong interest in studying by practice In training education, in order to promote disabled people’s computer skill, it is better to practice the knowledge by working. For example: After learning typing, should improve the speed, can use the task of chatting with friends. (4) According to one’s different characteristic, choosing the various technical skills Sometimes the disabled type can cause the insurmountable obstacle while studying some technical ability. For example, Brain paralysis person is unsuitable to make webpages, but he or she can program. The disabled people can choose a kind of technical ability to study according to one's own situation. (5) Relative long-term guiding process On the one hand, the development of science and technology has a characteristic of rapid updating, and on the other hand, the disabled people have the special study way. This means that training the disabled people into the field of Information of Science and Technology needs a long time. Even the study course will be filling with all one's life. On later stage, the proportion of theory knowledge will increase. Ⅲ Analysis
and displaying the disabled people getting benefit by using Science and
Technology 1. Information of Science and Technology is good teachers and helpful friends and convenient tool for disabled people. It largely reduces disabled people’s cost for surviving. (1) By using the search engine, they can obtain the knowledge information of some respect immediately The interactive column serving disabled people in our website is the best example. There are more than 4,000 reply for message consult in our website, having 3/4 parts inquired on Internet. For example, One disabled member asked how to study the sign language, we will give him reply of list the result of inquiring about: Sign language book mail way, website for sign language teaching, and even the Deaf Person Association of the city he or she is living now. (2) Long-range services, such as online finance, shopping, paying the fees, make personal ability strengthen greatly. The paying of disabled personage's rent, water and electricity, coal gas, telephone expenses can completely carry on through Internet. It is very convenient and saves some money and energy. I and Mr,Liuyong’s passport to Hong Kong gained on Internet. It is a good example to represent this point I mentioned above. 2. Information of Science and Technology has improved the disabled personage's lonely life, helping them reset up healthy psychology stage, Improving their overall qualities. (1) The abundant interactive columns, offer the convenience that that the disabled people feel easy to make friends and express their own opinions and ideas. This is a good way for them to have a better understanding about outside world by surfing on Internet. Bob, female disabled member (the brain paralysis) of our website, she walks and speaks difficultly and she feels inferior to others. She has never show up in the public occasion. Two years ago, she was at her thirties and began to study computer. Now she has become one of chief participator or our website. The articles written by her are very beautiful and popular. She is doing a good job. From March of this year, in the community where she is living in, she began to take charge of " Yijing Community's disabled person' s monthly magazine ". (2) The disabled people realize the value of one's own life through Information of Science and Technology, and its great meaning is exceeded and expected sometimes. There is young staff named Luo Jun and he is about twenty. He was suffered by Brain paralysis. When he entered our website, it was not easy for us to understand what he was saying. He could not make webpages because his hand is always tremble. According to his situation, he was arranged to take charge of scanning the pictures. Under the special help of old staff, he make a great progress in it. At present, he can not only make the pictures more beautiful and suitable but also take charge of the column of Music Online for our website. During this period of time, he fell in love with a girl, a college student, which gave him cherish experience. Then the miracle has taken place: Everyone can understand what he said. All of us are happy for talking with him freely. 3. Information of Science and Technology has enriched the disabled people’s emotion life and social practical experience (1) The characteristics of the disguise and random of the network make the disabled people involving in the network for the first time very apt to cross over the psychological obstacle, This help them to increase the choice range that the emotion is exposed to. Disabled people can feel in the fictitious love rule, trying the rising and fall of the vibrations and emotion of soul . In further touch, failure or success in life is our valuable experience. Deaf and dump girl student Dong Dan, first group of disabled persons of our website. After learning the computer type, she met and knew a deaf and dump young man Shen of Nanjing online. They quickly fell in love with each other and now, they have got married and have a lovely baby. Their family is very happy and harmonious. One disabled girl in our website was suffered by polio and has to depend on wheelchair to move. She acquainted with a youth in Shandong Province in her own personal homepage. Through the period of time of deep love with each other, the youth in Shandong already came to Shenzhen and looked after her life. He accompanied and took care of her to Beijing for the operation this time. (2) The disabled people seldom keep in touch with society, in addition, they lack the modern means and tools of Information of Science and Technology, so they often regard the common social phenomenon as the private problem to treat. Because of lacking knowing and guide, they are easy to be hurt and they always do not know how to deal with it. The seminar and individual consultation of disabled special network platform that Information of Science and Technology can play a guiding and help them to some extent. In 2000,our website organized and ran "admired the disabled people" that raised a strong response of public. There are hundreds of thousands articles about this theme on our website. A lot of disabled people have solved the concealed agony of perplexing emotion life for a long time at this time. The most important thing is that they can correctly deal with the emotional life problems they will meet in their rest of life. Mr.Wu, disabled woman member of our website( the single leg is suffered by polio ), she has got married and is a white collar in a company of Shenzhen. On the way to working, she met a young man and later they had a special emotional life, which influenced their respectively family life. Later, just because of our "admired the disabled people", this question was settled smoothly. They finally come back to their own marriage life. Disabled woman member, Mr.Liu, was unmarried. She knew a Hong Kong man working in Shenzhen and was one member of "admired the disabled people". She knew a Hong Kong man working in Shenzhen and knew that he has got married and his condition is very superior. He often drove Benz car and met her and had a meal. This kind of relation had puzzled her for two years totally, as a result, it had delayed her personal marriage life. After understanding the meaning of "admired the disabled people", she has removed the painful emotional problem from her heart and started a new life. 4. Learning to establish website, the disabled people can improve their ability of making webpages, programming and managing the website. (1) Establishing a website is a comprehensive studying course. Because network application software has been becoming stronger and simplifying day by day, as long as the disabled people have enough patience and time, they can grasp and use the software well. After the disabled people know how to grasp to surf the Internet and use with the E-mail, they usually begin to learn to set up personal homepage and website. In the course of building a website, through making webpages, uploading the files, knowing the server space arrangement, the disabled people can have a better understanding about the principle of the computer and network communication protocol rule progressively. This marks that they have entered the field of Information of Science and Technology formally. Mr, Yu Weiqiang, (serious paraplegia), disabled man in Hong Kong, is a person who helps others to restore to health before his disability. Our website offers him free server support of space, then he set up his own website and propagated the spirit of making unremitting efforts to improve oneself in society. He constantly encouraged every disabled people to change his or her life and promotes themselves through efforts. Join work, website of I, He assumes office as editor in our website and takes charge of the column of “recover life”, issuing the information and giving the answer to question consultation. Many disabled friends enjoy his working. The young grass of blind girl, Dandong in Liaoning Province, under the support in space of free service of our website, she used the pronunciation of reading screen software to set up the homepage. It is the first individual homepage website named “Sunrise in Night” (www.xiaocao.com) make by a blind person in China. The most difficult crowd's achievement of Information of Science and Technology is encouraging the disabled people’s confidence of grasping Information of Science and Technology. The program of “interconnected world” and “half the sky” in CCTV has showed it to the public and there was strong response among disabled people in the whole society. (2) The course of building up the interactive column in Website is the course of learning how to programme. Interactive column on website generally points the forum, chats, sending or receiving a message. It has special requests to the server space and it is different from the space which preserves the general webpages. It need space support of the high authority, such as ASP. Every large website of continent has not offered free ASP space service. According to the situation, our website, from October 2001, put out and offered free ASP space service for national disabled persons. Namely only copies of their" ID card" and their "the Card for deformity" can be sent to our website, we would provide 20MB free ASP space server. As a result, most of the disabled people began to take a great interest in making webpages. The practice of more than one year has created the following three ascending stages At the first stage, in order to make one's own website possess the interactive functions, the disabled people enter Internet to search for relevant “share procedure”. When they use the " share the procedure ", they should repack one's own website interface into the source code. In this course, they begin to know the source code of procedure. At the second stage, because" share procedure " has a great deal of disadvantages, the disabled people will try to improve it according to the personal need. In this case, they have a better understanding of the principle of working procedure and source code. At the third stage, because the " share procedure " has a loophole that is unable to change, the disabled people have to learn by themselves or ask people to coach them so as to write the simple interactive procedure. This made them enter the programming stage. Most of them feel that it is more difficult to enter this stage, and it all depends on different people and different But in the homepage space of more than one hundred disabled people who are free supported by my network have already stepped into this stage. (3) Grasping website's content management skill by replying or deleting some information on one’s own website. On the carrier of Information of Science and Technology, content is a final purpose . And the management of content is that all kinds of technology of Information of Science and Technology are too far away to be helped. It has nothing to do with the writing level of literature, it is only a kind of long-range simple repeatedly working online. For example: Fixed information security inspection, fixed watching massage and replying massage, duplication, paste the picture and text on the template of database. It is that a kind of pure manpower in the field of Information of Science and Technology. With the further development and popularization of Information of Science and Technology, market demand will be greater and greater. Our website has some special people developing this market. Every disabled people among them have the relevant security official's certificate of information awarded by department. Helping other website make information content security or commercial platform charge and stick, reply, and other long-range working can get the income of 700 to 1000 Yuan each month. The disabled people have improved their technical ability during the period of managing their own websites. This has paved the way for them to work at home in front of computer by long-distance working. 5. Establishing websites and managing the e-commerce can help the disabled people grasp the business opportunity and get profits. (1) With the popularization of Information of Science and Technology, the business that the disabled people participate in website's commercial affair is expanding gradually. The requisition on website of enterprise, besides the designing, the more important thing is offering the long and steady follow-up service. Manpower resources of the disabled people is cheap, stability, and sincere. The disabled young lady( the serious paraplegia) in Guangzhou, Zhang Dongfang, has established domestic well-known website " the same sky" (www. samesky.net) by the long-range work pattern. Ms. Zhang DongFang has run and planned, made, maintained websites for other enterprise all the time. She has succeeded in realizing the supporting of her own website by her own intelligence. Our website also do the same thing as Ms, Zhang Dongfang does. The charge standard is 1/2 of the market charge standard. The full-automatic backstage supporting procedure management of website and long and steady follow-up service makes the customer satisfied. At present, the average income of this project can already reach 50% of the total website's expenditure. (2) The further development of e-commerce and network advertisement, has offered the long-range employment for individuals. With the innovative theories of the technical development and trading company, the application of Information of Science and Technology in the commercial field, has been making e-commerce and network’s variety and forms constantly change into diversification and individuation. The disabled people can combine Information of Science and Technology with innovative market tactics of the trading company to make very good network commercial mode. The disabled person (the serious paraplegia) in Fujian, Xiao Hui, built up his own store online three years ago, selling several kinds of regular communication apparatus. Because of very low agent's price, the business has been very good all the time. One disabled people's website in Zhangzhou of Fujian Province acts as agent and sells the products of" artificial limb, apparatus for the disabled people " made in Taiwan. By doing this business, he sells a wheelchair or the electric motor car each time and can obtain more than thousands Yuan Ⅳ The
analysis of market demand for the disabled people’s manpower resources
in the domain of Information of Science and Technology Because of the lower education background and difficult situation, most of the disabled people feel it is not easy to become the talent in the field of Information of Science and Technology. The high-advanced Information of Science and Technology, is far away from the disabled people. However, as the disabled people, they should try to remove the septum that digital era brings to human beings, and at the same time, they should share the progressive achievements of civilization in the new century. From this point, it is a very great leap for the disabled people to enter the interior of Information of Science and Technology industry. At present, seen from practice of our website, the disabled people’s manpower resource requirement in the fields of Information of Science and Technology is welcomed. If we try to describe this situation, we can use this idiom: collect the addendum of leaking. Some low salary work, including no job-hopping, on night shift, doing long-range work of trivial matters, all of these can be easily accepted by the disabled people because they are very apt to these kinds of jobs. Ⅴ The disabled people need the help and support of the government and society to build up a environment of network in Information of Science and Technology without any obstacle. 1. The disabled people need a long and special coaching before they obtain employment formally. When the disabled people start to study Information of Science and Technology, they usually need a concentrating and special training and individual guide, and also need a environment without any obstacle. Trying to realize all of these, we need material resources and financial support. The disabled staff’s training in our website, adopts the full-time lodging. There are more than ten people accepting training and they are always sent off going home on weekend, fetching home and going to work on Monday. It is very convenient. On the one hand, it has solved many problems for them, and on the other hand, it can help them to spare more time to study the computer. As a result, most of them can make a great progress in a short time. But the necessary expenses are very expensive. The charges for water and electricity and food will cost more than 7,000-8,000 Yuan every month alone. The website has a very heavy burden to raise itself. 2. The disabled people’s special-purpose network platform needs manpower help and financial support When the disabled people make a communication with others on Internet, they always have a special feelings and attitudes about agony life that the common healthy people can not experience. So the disabled people would rather enter the special column for them to express their different emotion and feelings. This kind of disabled person's special-purpose network service platforms are always run by individuals So there are many difficulties in capital and technology. More work should be done to develop and perfect it. Our website took the leading in offering free space and mailbox service for the disabled people. Of course, some enterprises friendly help and support us. For example, " Guangdong Runxun Group presented us server, especially, “Microsoft (China) Co. Ltd. cared our website’s development and gave us many service for three years, presenting serial software including the financial management software three times. What’s more, They Arrange for Shanghai" Microsoft global technological service center" go on and help the disabled to accept technological guidance and training for a long time. With the great help and support of the enterprises, our websites can completely keep up with and manage with the corresponding engineering level in every step of services expanding. 3.The disabled people lack the information apparatus because of the low income. The disabled, as social weak group of people, they have no enough money to dispose computer and they are unable to pay the cost of message. It is the biggest difficulty for the disabled to be familiar with Information of Science and Technology. And we do not say the situation in countryside and remote areas, even in the flourishing city, the disabled people's proportion of having computer is low. To change this kind of state, we need the special concerns and supports from government and society. In the first year of our website established, we faced this kind of awkward situation. More than ten disabled people have only two set of horizontal computer of 586. We had to arrange personnel into three classes to work day and night. And later because" Great Wall computer group" presented seven Pentium 3 computer and concentrator to us, we could develop and come down continuously. With the development of high technology, all kinds of expenses of Information of Science and Technology are dropping. But as the disabled people, if they want to know and use more about Information of Science and Technology, the price is still a heavy burden at present! Ⅵ Remedying
the disparity of the information and narrowing the digital septum depends
the disabled people themselves. 1. The disabled should adjust their psychology and study Information of Science and Technology actively. They must know that the network world has no deformity. When the disabled people study Information of Science and Technology, they will run into unexpected difficulty that the ordinary people may never meet. This needs a good psychology to face it. Firstly, they should not wait others’ help and try to do it by themselves. Secondly, They must study hard and work hard to improve their own ability and skills. They must know that the measurement of the achievements is not compared with others, but base on one’s own starting level. Every achievement is the motive force of realizing the self-value. After you enter the network world, we feel you are not a disabled person. It is true. 2. The disabled people should equally and actively participate and share the Information of Science and Technology according to their own interest and needs. The class of Information of Science and Technology is developed more and richer, the disabled had better choose the ones that they are very interested in. This contributes to keeping interest and confidence of learner. But they must know how to input the characters into computer. This is very important. Because if they do not put characters into computer, they just can visit the website and can not make a good communication with the computer. When you can use more and more Information of Science and Technology, you will feel your life fill with happiness that equal participation and equal share bring to you. 3. The disabled people should arm themselves with Information of Science and Technology. Deformity is a kind of beauty. Seen from the combination of the disabled people and Information of Science and Technology, the low education, difficult action, and thin income are the main reason of disabled people’s employment. But the advantage of Information of Science and Technology is that it can provide the disabled people with long-distance working opportunity. If the disabled can grasp the technical ability of Information of Science and Technology, take the place of and repay one's own weak tendency, they not only can improve themselves and support themselves but also can contribute to Let us prove to common people with this fact miraculously: "The deformity, beautiful! " the society, and at the same time, they can realize the value of their own life. They will fell very fruitful every day. Let us prove to common people with this fact miraculously: "The deformity is a kind of beauty!"
