I agree with you, if we could have more people thinking and including the disabled folks in inventing new stuff, but rarely do they incorporate them. As for the devs working publicly for the disabled, I doubt, cause many hide their attraction and hence the topic of disability is ignored largely. IDK, maybe the companies should instead hire more and more disabled folks, then only we can progress overall in the society.
Like in the hearing aid industry, many employees are hearing,- not deaf, hard of hearing, CODA, or even having those kind of relatives. So how do we expect them to understand the issues we face daily without experiencing it firsthand itself. I have personally seen with my own eyes, they are largely ignorant about certain issues we come across in daily life. And another thing is that they expect us to conform to their ideals of a perfect hearing, which is impossible inspite of the tremendous leap in the technology. Ultimately, they have to accept that we lack hearing and hence cannot be perfect all the time while speaking or talking in certain situations.
These days the technology is being used and misused for such inane and silly stuff that I feel, the world has become sillier day by day. Being obsessed with the celebrity culture, insane luxury levels, vulgar fashion, molecular gastronomy etc.... I mean what are doing with our lives, trolling people and being trolled these days is the norm. There is very little substance or productive and constructive activity happening now. The good old days were when life was much simpler, agreed there was not much money, lesser luxury, technology was not very advanced and many other things. But I feel the people overall were much happier than now, if you see our parents and grandparents childhood days.
