[gui-talk] Fw: [vipnews] For the Blind, Technology Does What a Guide Dog Can't

[Joel Deutsch]

Just speaking for myself, I tried really hard to read through this article, 
but it's much worse a problem than something like the reference to some tech 
gadget outperforming a guide dog being misleading. The whole thing just 
wanders around aimlessly. This is journalism without an editor, apparently. 
Or maybe I am not realizing because I haven't managed to make myself read to 
the end that all it is is a general introduction meant for sighted readers 
or newly vision-impaired people telling them about blind tech accessibility 
technology and its challenges? I don't know. I thought it was going to be a 
profile of this Indian guy in Mountain View and one or two specific things 
he's working on and how they'll affect people. Maybe some glimpses into his 
daily life, as well as a few more extensive quotes taken from an interview 
with him. A tight, focused 800 to 1000 word article.
Sorry. I just find this thing a little crazy-making. Not wishing to argue 
about it if someone finds it entertaining or informative. That's fine.
