[nfbcs] FW: Did you guys see this?

[Nicole Torcolini]

For those of us who have not had a chance to listen to the video, can
someone please give some sort of summary so that we won't be left in the
dark (no pun intended)?

This is marketing, I expect a lot of hyperbole. Most of the technology they
show exists today. It is just not as easy to use, frustration free,
reliable, etc. as the commercial would have us believe.

Plus, there's the pervasive idea the commercial shows that people with
disabilities who don't have this technology don't have a life worth living.
That should make us all uncomfortable.
