And some able bodied people won't let a five foot
barrier stop them and will find a way to get over the
top. Your analogy doesn't hold much water with me
Betty. Able bodies use lots of technology to get over
barriers and don't make a big deal about it. Want to
go to the top floor with the minimum of
effort...invent the elevator.
Want to conqueror stairs and bumps while in a wc...get
an IBOT. The world will never go back to only having
single story buildings..it can't possibly so everyone
will have to use some form of technology or gadgets to
get where the want to go.
