You've certainly approached this from the right direction, Christopher -- and you are right on target in your observations. Much of what would have created insurmountable difficulties for someone with a disability in years past is no doable through the use of technology. For that matter, it is not uncommon for procedures that would have been impossible for a person with a disability in the past to now be done in an entirely different fashion by EVERYONE -- a fashion that eliminates the barrier (such as your example of the machine that does urine analysis that might previously have been done by visual inspection). I remember reading a bumper sticker one time that read, "Now is the best time to have cerebral palsy..." It's true! Having a disability today is less... disabling!... than it was 20 years ago!
