FACTSlides Fun Random Facts
Random Facts "is an endless stream of amazing facts presented as colorful
and animated slides."
Description: Description:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/files/images/techtreats/SOTWRandomFacts.jpg
All the facts are presented as a slideshow with large text and images -
easy to read with some humor added here and there.
You can click the next arrow or browse some of the 75+ categories, including
countries, well known people, animals, mobile phones, food, inventors and so
forth. There's an option to turn the slideshow on and off, and pick how long
you want to see each fact. Times range from 3 seconds to 5 minutes.
Best of all, all facts are sourced, with the link at the bottom left of each
page. Where applicable there's a link to an illustration.
The slideshow takes you through facts in various categories - if you're not
looking for something specific the slideshow is great entertainment.
My experience exploring the site using JAWS and System Access screenreading
software:
Arrowing three times from the top of this page will place the cursor on a
check-box for turning Animation on off.
Just below the Animation control is "Autoslide every" dropdown list. If
using a screenreader, this is accessed by pressing alt plus down arrow for
adjusting how quick the slides are changed.
Each fact is made up of three lines.
Line, is the fact.
Line two will say the number of that fact.
Line three is a link to the source for the fact.
Line four is a button. I did not notice what happened when pressing the
spacebar on this button.
Fifth line is a link, when clicked on or entered on will bring the next fact
up.
Wait for a few seconds and the new fact appears and is read if using a
screenreader.
There is also a free family tree builder available bbelow the first fact
shown at the top of this page.
Here are a few examples about the earth.
" Four planet Earths would be required to sustain the levels of consumption
of the U.S."
Fact number two
Link: source (Pressing enter or clicking on the source link takes you to the
page where that source is found. Of course you must hit backspace or click
back for exploring more of the main homepage.)
Button
Link: (This is the link you must enter on or click on to get another fact.
When entering here, you do not need to backspace for returning to the main
topic page.
Example Two: Arrow down to the link " Antarctica" and hit enter or click on
it.
You are taken to a page of nine facts about Antarctica.
Arrow down to the link that has no title associated with it and hit enter.
You sshould get this fact
" Antarctica is the largest desert in the world."fact one
Now if you hit enter on the same link again, another fact about Antarctica
will appear. Each time the link is activated, another of the nine facts
about Antarctica is shown. The same ine facts will be repeated if the link
is activated a tenth time.
To explore another topic, arrow to one and hit enter or click on it.
Here are the rest of the topic links available.
I have not included the text of each URL due to the large number. If you
wish to explore them, visit the home page link shown at the very end of this
article and have fun exploring
