I couldn't agree more with Butch on this one.

It's truly ironic that accessibility is becoming more of an issue these days
when it comes to so many technology applications, when it should be the
other way around.

I face this every semester at my University as new applications are rolled
out with no concern for adaptive software compatibility, despite my service
on a number of committees that are supposed to deal with this exact issue.
Somehow, we get glossed over when the higher-ups make the necessary
decisions.

As for technology in general, I find this true as well.

Don't get me wrong:  I'm not a pessimistic person. ... It's just what I'm
seeing every day, and it gets rather disconcerting.

Yep, I agree totally.  Sad part is I think we're losing access these days
when the technology is there to help if they would just use it.  I'm talking
everything from internet pages to new appliances with touch screens.  And of
course there are those who think just because they can use and love their i
phones, that an i phone is the solution for everyone. 
grrrrrrr.
