We sometimes take our vision for granted, where we create things like websites and assume that all our visitors have no problem accessing it. However, not all web users are so lucky where some have visual impairments, like being blind, for example.

If you’re a budding photographer or videographer, you know that it can be intimidating when it comes to using editing tools like Adobe Photoshop or Premiere Elements.

Deepfake videos are becoming increasingly popular, and not too long, there was a deepfake video that replaced Robert Downey Jr. with Tom Cruise in Marvel’s Iron Man movies. This is because it was previously rumored that Cruise was apparently in the running to take on the role of Tony Stark before Downey Jr. landed it himself, and now it’s pretty much hard to imagine anyone else in that role.
Deepfake videos are proving to be a problem where we have seen how convincing they look, but it seems that while deepfake videos are a problem, perhaps deepfake audio could be something that we should start paying attention to in the future, especially after there was a report where an employee of a company was tricked into transferring over $200,000 to a scammer, believing that the scammer was his boss.
Back in the day when video games were released, especially if it was a Japanese video game, there was the question of whether or not there would be a localized version released as well. While Japanese-only games still exist, globalization has meant that developers are now releasing games in multiple languages at the same time.
