[Colorado-Talk] Article by Brett Boyer Published in the August-September Braille Monitor

This is a great article, Brett. I agree with everything you're saying here.
It's vitally important that we apply structured discovery to tech, because
people need to be problem solvers with their technology just as they are
with travel. Whether that means launching Narrator when your screen reader
of choice stops talking, or using the web to find a keystroke you've
forgotten, or grabbing your smart glasses to read a digital display, or
trying out a new app yourself to see if it's accessible instead of waiting
for someone to tell you whether it will or won't work, we need to explore
our technology instead of being afraid of it, afraid that the next keystroke
we press might break something, and so remaining paralyzed until someone
comes along to tell us what to do.

Greetings everyone:

 

I want to call to your attention an excellent article, written by our own

positive philosophy of blindness in technology training for the blind, that
has just been released today in the August-September edition of our flagship
