Brilliant: You've reinvented Braille with googly eyeballs for sighted drivers!

It illustrates the point that accessibility isn't only for disabled people. It benefits everyone, and if you're lucky to live long enough, you'll need it even more every day.

Everyone is just predisabled?

I suppose we're all just pre-dead as well?

What a depressing way to look at life.

You may want to seek out help from a counselor.

I'm glad that by using and defining that word "predisabled", I have raised your consciousness enough to consider your own mortality and the fact that your vision, hearing, dexterity, mental acuity, and memory are going to degrade as you get older.

Not everyone is predisabled: many unfortunate people won't live long enough to suffer the consequences of old age. But I'd rather not die before I get old, myself. I certainly hope I'm predisabled instead of short lived, myself.

It sounds like you're the one who needs a counselor if you're so depressed and having such a hard time facing the fact that you're getting older every second, until you die.

If you're designing user interfaces, you might want to seek out help for an accessibility specialist.

I suggest we call the people on the other side of this divide "Daltreys" and prohibit them from designing any UIs.
