1) people who learn to read and write braille on braille paper with slate
and stylus and perkins brailler can do writing that will not be effected
by electronic failure and electronic interference. Those using electronic
devices exclusively are succeptible to magnetic interference and eventual
failure of the equipment. The same applies to use of manual typewriters
which is why I have one and know where I can get ribbons for it when the
time comes.
2) a product that doesn't exist for backpack users would be a three
compartment braille case. Two compartments to hold braille paper one
thinner than the other for blank paper and the other for brailled paper.
The third compartment would be to hold a slate stylus and abacus. Maybe
someone with use of a 3d-printer could make and sell some of these. Lots
less dangerous than ghost guns.
