For people without disabilities, technology makes things convenient, whereas for people with disabilities, it makes things possible... [this] fact brings with it an enormous responsibility because the reverse is also true. Inaccessible technology can make things absolutely impossible for disabled people, a prospect we must avoid. Judith Heumann, Assistant Secretary of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, U.S. Department of Education Keynote address to Microsoft employees and experts on disabilities and technology, Redmond, Washington, February 19, 1998
