Hey Justin (and others),

Thanks for posting this. It's good to keep abreast of how afraid the sighted 
world is of blindness. For, I believe that's the only thing this technology 
is good for. To relate it to braille is absolutely ludicrous, as there's no 
way anyone could read using this technology at greater than 1 or 2 words per 
minute. In fact, I'm sure it would be faster to learn to read braille with 
your tongue. Secondly, I find it impossible to believe that anyone could 
identify an object faster or more accurately with that device than the 
average blind person could with their hands. And lastly, I can think of more 
pleasant things I could do with my tongue than cover it with electrodes!

Peace,

chris
