Seems like most of the video and digital video technology of the last ten 
years has been done with the philosophy of "Screw the blind people."  We 
had a completely new technology that would have been so easy to build in 
accessibility from the ground up, but like most things where the US 
government gets into bed with private industry, they completely botched the 
job.  Par for the course.
