[blindLaw] FW: Philosophy Friday on Mountain Time at 5 Tonight!

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Good afternoon Blindlaw!

 

 

As some may know, the NFB of Colorado has been putting on Zoom calls pretty
much every week night since this pandemic took hold which range in a wide
variety of topics.  We have come to call Friday's call, Philosophy Friday.
In any event, I thought many of you would find tonight's discussion
fascinating, thus I am sharing the announcement with you.  

 

 

Cheers!!

 

Scott

Subject: Philosophy Friday on Mountain Time at 5 Tonight!

 

Tonight, Friday, May 29, we present a special Mountain Time at 5. What is
the Future of Blindness in America. What is the Future of the National
Federation of the Blind. What is the Future of the Randolph-Sheppard
Program. Tonight we want to hear from you. Tonight we will pose provocative
questions. Tonight we will also be using the polling feature of zoom for
folks who are not dialing in. But we will make sure everyone can
participate. 

 

So, let's start by asking everyone what they think life will look like for
blind people in ten years, 20 years, etc.  How much will technology
fundamentally change the nature of being blind?  How will sources of
artificial vision  and artificial intelligence  change the way we live?  A
key question, in the brave new world, what will the role of the NFB be?
What will be our relevance?  Will there be a need for the NFB?  Will we fade
away or shift our focus to more of providing services and doing more
international work? 

 

We do hope you will join us and invite others. Whether you are from Colorado
or across the Nation you are welcome and encouraged to join us on Zoom.
Encourage chapter members to join us.
