Openness

Why:

Many good things can come from openness, if you share something on the internet, someone else might find it super helpful and benefit from that. The same also goes for you, if you find something helpful on the internet, you have whoever posted it to thank.

How:

All you have to do to make it happen, is when you are making something that could benefit other people, you should share it on the internet. That way anyone is able to gain knowledge form it. If everyone did that, a lot more people would know things that they would have never known before if it wasn’t for the internet.

Accessibility

Why:

Many people however suffer from disabilities that prevent them from using the internet to its full potential. These people may be deaf, and need closed captions on videos, or blind and need an audio to read the page to them, those are just a few examples of people who could struggle with using the internet. You also don’t have to disabled to benefit from features like the ones described. Almost everyone could benefit from features like that.

How:

All you have to do is add the capabilities for those who are disabled to be able to learn form your post. Like mentioned before, maybe its a video with closed caption, or a audio recording reading the post to the listener. maybe some arrows around the page to help direct the flow of what to do. Things like that are always good to add to your page.

If you want to learn more about what you might want to do, you could go to the Government Services Administration page on the benefits of accessibility to learn more.
