Thank you.
I have been working with computers now for 33 years
starting with the Apple II in January of 1979 and one of my
favorite gripes has been that eubicquitous accessibility was always
just around the corner. You do get that condition on a circular track.
Eubicquitous accessibility simply means that it is everywhere
you need it. As long as the Apple products contain Voiceover or
if Android accessibility ever becomes real and is incorporated
in to all Android devices, we will finally have a different
world.
We're not quite there, but you can almost see it or hear
it now.
Notice, I didn't mention the most common operating
system. It's certainly got accessibility if you spend enough,
plan far enough in advance and hope to goodness the application
you need to use was written correctly. We've had that kind of
access since the sixties or so. It's not the same thing.
