We know that technology can help market products/services and make our lives easier. But, one of the most important, and often overlooked, aspects of our business is how technology is being used to help people–to bring meaning and delight into the lives of folks who might not otherwise have an opportunity. I couldn’t help but smile when I read about Andrew, a paraplegic young boy, who creates digital paintings with a Wii-enabled wheelchair. The short film below captures his process as he learns how to maneuver his chair to create images on a screen and becomes a true artist filled with the joy of personal expression.

Now, that’s an exceptional experience–in the best sense.
