The analogy is good to illustrate an issue. One problem, of
course, is that these "annoying" people are not as familiar with
the text size controls on browsers as they are with volume
controls on radios. Yes, there are misguided idea about web
viewing but perhaps more education on text controls would help
steer folk towards more cluey ways of seeing things. Everyone
knows that command c or its equivalent in Windows, control c is
copy. This is taught at a basic level. Not so the controls for
browsers.
Why, I don't think there is even a completely standard keyboard
way across all browsers. On a Mac, command + or - in a few
browsers, in iCab it is not even this or it does not work well. I
think it would help greatly for there to be a consistent key
control for this, widely taught. An easy key combination. This
would be do more than educating directly about the differences of
the browser experience from the reading print one.
