The main thing that concerns me when it comes to blind people and computers is how much is increasingly being done through GUIs that don't translate well into text. Website readers and the like are awful. Useable mind you, but awful. I vaguely remember - though I may be mistaken - that the audio industry lost a lot of blind people when the switched over to a more computer based style, which this brings to mind.

Mmm, Braille. IIRC literacy in that regard correlates highly with subsequent employment opportunities even today.

I like this guy. Whether he's a good leader or not though -shrug- _________________ Never forget,

Well, I'm not sure if he's a good leader, but he seems to have some good/interesting ideals. Maybe I'm just bitter and cynical, and gladly willing to have a break from the wealthy aristocracy we get here in the 'States. _________________ . Dubbed "Usagi" by AsA .

That's pretty cute, Asa. Seems like a video you'd play in a kid's class to warn them of the dangers of being stupid ^_^

Hmm, ah this one's the German guy who did the signs for their transport system talking, much more generally and less technically, about his work. ^^; _________________ Never forget,

This is a decent speech if you don't know too much about advertising yet. About an hour for the actual speech. _________________ Never forget,

Mostly for Britland, but it's overall cool:

This is ... a thing.
I used to live here:

There are some beautiful parts of the city. But ultimately I found it a very depressing city. _________________ Never forget,
