[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

I was just thinking that something has been forgotten in this discussion
amongst all of us.  That is--the media sets out to sensationalize these types
of things such as pathfinder tiles and stuff like that--and we all know that
media stories are not always positive--more sensational and sometimes
misrepresent information--not just stories about the blind but about anything.
 It's been stated that sighted people don't care about what we use or
whatever, but, that's probably true in most cases, but, when things are
publicized, that can help perhaps  to help  a potential employer decide that
accommodations might be too expensive.  Just a thought--would appreciate
responses from you and others about this.
