Celebrate Halloween with Steven Scott and Shaun Preece as they share spine-chilling tech horror stories from listeners, featuring haunted gadgets, ghostly screen readers, and the spooky side of accessibility technology. This Halloween special of Double Tap dives into the eerie world of tech gone wrong. Steven and Shaun invite listeners to share their scariest technology mishaps, from haunted electric toothbrushes and cursed talking clocks to mysteriously self-activating braille devices. Gregory recounts the tragic “murder” of his Seleste smart glasses, Kevin’s toothbrush haunts the night, and Charles relives the terror of a childhood rooster alarm. Amid the humour and frights, the hosts also explore the nostalgia of old assistive tech, the perils of firmware updates, and the warm moments of truly excellent accessibility support.
