Within the next few years, at most, we will see a merging of specific computer technology with consumer electronics. Already several very large companies are testing and producing TV set-top boxes that, along with receiving a plethora of cable channels, access the World Wide Web. Pretty soon you'll be able to 'surf' the Internet with the same remote you use to turn to 'Seinfeld'.
The challenge for special needs developers, like myself, is to strive to provide access solutions for persons with disabilities, as the rest of the world speedily progresses. It's a struggle for small companies that cater to the small 'disabled' market to keep current with specific computer technology. As computer interaction becomes more family oriented, and equipment becomes more consumer-friendly, it's going to be even more difficult for these small companies to keep pace with the 'astonishingly' fast paced growth of consumer electronics.
