In the current model, everything could be done 100% accessibly. Why it isn't is a completely different problem. When everything is inherently physical, though, accessibility is not just about the code, it involves much more parts, such as automated devices to move things around. Considering how expensive devices made for accessibility are (a braille display is usually well over $1000), that would be a huge setback. I think the beautiful thing about computers and technology is that you're not tied to any physical medium a

Chronic pain is a large precursor to suicide, if you have it, you need to get it fixed. My interest in this is from a FutureOfProgramming perspective, how can we interact with computers in different, higher order ways. What does the Mother of All Demos [0] look like in 2020?
