–They may not be able to use a keyboard or mouse.
–They may have a text-only screen, a small screen or a slow Internet connection.
–They may be in a situation where their eyes, ears or hands are busy or interfered with (e.g. driving to work, working in a loud environment, etc.).
–They may have an early version of a browser, a different browser entirely or a voice browser.
For those unfamiliar with accessibility issues pertaining to Web page design, consider that many users may be operating in contexts very different from your own:
points 1, 2,3,4 all apply to users of speech output devices
Blind users cannot see links, read text or relate to pictures – spatial problems are some times difficult, maps and the like. A mouse is useless to a blind computer user and ythe last point, many blind users make use of an old browser as they tend to work better with the old but still expensive screen review packages. Lynx is a common text only browser.
