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.
