Folks, there really is something sliding backwards in #Accessibility but I can't quite pinpoint it, but it's showing itself every time I invoice a client but I spent that whole time convincing the small business that, well, actually, accessible design is good. Toolbars won't fix accessibility. Your computer can make text bigger. Your monitor can brighten and lower brightness. your computer has a Magnifier in it.

I'm not joking. Back in 2006, you had to use those advanced accessibility talks, but not anymore! Now I get paid to tell people that there are themes in Wordpress that make stuff more accessible without toolbars and yes you can increase your mouse size.

Seriously, what's going on? I mean, I'll have income for a hell of a long time without really doing anything super taxing these days but wow! #WebDev

I think it’s cyclical. This makes our jobs somewhat harder because instead of making the future technology accessible, we have to explain the stuff that was explained years ago. But then, it was a different generation, remember? So yeah, one way to advance the future is to forget the past! :)
