NFB Aims at Target
The author ends this article with a comment that suggests the issue of accessibility to web sites is unimportant. There are some who have even left comments that suggest the blind have no business on the web.
While the web is a source of income to many in the development field and a convenient way to find information, for a blind person it can mean the difference between remaining independent and signing over many routine activities to a stranger.
The web for a blind person provides them with the ability to shop, perform banking tasks, obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible and for many even socialize.
It amazes me that readers of a technology based website would have such an attitude. They must forget the true purpose of technology is to solve a problem or fill a need.
