New media and access for the disabled - boon or bust?

New media and access for the disabled has been a bust, there isn't much option for the disabled. For example a blind person or let's say a deaf person can not enjoy or has the same privilege as a normal user. Certain arrangements are necessary to meet and satisfy their needs, over the years there has been progress on advancing technologies for the disabled however, it is at a very slow speed and might take years to reach the target.
