[Nfb-lions] Possible Suggestion About Increasing Lion Magazine on NFB Newsline

[Albert Rizzi]

Paul,

I do put myself in a few people's shoes as I advocate for our rights, but being practical and current is a critical component for our survival in this society, again in my opinion. Regardless of what I think,. I made it clear that according to the ADA we are entitled to printed materials in those formats of our choosing. If a person still does not want to get a computer then they can, and should, ask for materials in braille or large print.

We are in the 21st century and people need to get on board with the "trends". The same thing happened back when we transitioned from the electric typewriter to the computer. How many people out there have an electric typewriter these days? they do not even manufacturer them any longer. The same can be said about the cell phone when they came out and the car when we transitioned from the horse and buggy. In my opinion, history is without a doubt, bound to repeat itself again.

I'd like to see those who advocate the use of computers put themselves 
in the situation of those who don't have a computer, don't want one or 
even find it difficult to use one for whatever reason.  Then after a 
sufficient amount of time, I guarantee that they will change their tune 
pretty quickly.  Never mind that in most areas of life I'm traditional, 
but one should think of those who aren't up-to-date with modern 
technology, blind or otherwise.  Paul
