[nagdu] o/t My friend Albert J Rizzi onGoodMorningAmericausingdevice to see with his tongue

Yeah.  I sddenly see the potential there...  The real question is if, when
it becomes viable and is put on the market, will actual blind people who
could really, really use it to get back to work or to make better money or
whatever will be able to get their hands on it?  I guess if the overall
state of VR -- unless you live somewhere it still works -- will eventually
turn around and function to provide people with informed choice and adaptive
tools, maybe even before the brain port is available...  Or so I try to tell
myself.  I have a sour attitude on that score, I'm afraid.
