That said, I don't think any one person's efforts nor any one one piece of work makes a huge amount of difference in isolation. The combined efforts of everyone who cares about the future prosperity of older and disabled people will bring about the change we want to see (plus a little bit of luck in the form of social change). Like you, I can look back over a decade and see positive change and greater understanding among those with the power to build a better web. Now the foundations have been laid it's the turn of practitioners to take up the baton. IMHO, it's now time for the big software developers to step up to the plate. Wouldn't it be cool to see some of their names on next year's shortlist? Like the Oscars, it’s the nomination that counts… but it’s the work that counts the most!
