Anmol,
I still think getting an iBill, although it's a terrible idea, is a
lot cheaper than trying to phase out all of the cash we have already.
And, no, just because they print new cash every 7 years, that doesn't
make old cash invalid to my knowledge. So we can have cash that's
been circulating for lots longer than 7 years, it's just every 7 years
they print new cash.
Joseph, your idea is better; at least no ATMS would have to be
changed. But lots and lots of people own vending machines, and those
aren't cheap either, although they're nothing compared to ATMS for
sure. But here's the thing. We absolutely do not need it. We can
identify our cash just fine without it. iBill or no iBill, Looktell
or no Looktell, iNote or no iNote, we've been doing it for years.
And, as has already been seen on this list, incidents of fraud and
cheating us out of our money are scattered and isolated- it happens
just as much to inatentive sighted people as it does to us. So, I'm
asking this as frankly as I can, why are we wasting our time? There
are certainly lots of things we as blind people need to which we
aren't getting consistent access. (accessible textbooks? usable
business web sites? Quality braille training? Decent mobility
instruction? Appropriate accommodations from college disability
offices?) All of these are things we have to have. When we don't get
them, it hurts our chances for employment. Just because something
could help our chances of getting a job, that doesn't mean we need it.
I'm the first to admit I'd love to be able to identify my cash
without any iPod app or sighted assistance. But it's not something I,
or any of us, can't do without. If the textbooks we have to read for
class aren't accessible, we could be in huge trouble. But if we don't
get this extra perk of having cash we can identify without technology
or sighted assistance, we'll be fine.
For the record, I wasn't really thinking when I said all ATMS would
have to be replaced. Certainly there are design options out there,
like the one Joseph suggested, that wouldn't make that necessary. I'm
sure the government will take that into consideration so I'm gonna
flip-flop and say we probably won't have to get rid of our trusty
ATMS. See? I can be persuaded by reason. Sometimes.
Best,
Kirt
