    Well for me, probably the most troubling thing I learned was from the interview of the accessibilty expert that Tina posted. I was under the impression that web accessibility issues were decreasing with new technology. But listening to the interview (and also what I read about) a new program called Ajax which is used by google apps, is not compatable with current accessiblity devices. Plus, the top social site, Facebook, is not accessible for disabled people. I guess I just thought that web accessiblity technology would keep pace with all the other technology but it does not seem to be. It was disturbing to listen to this expert not being hopeful that Web2.0 design would improve in regards to accessibility for the disabled.
