[nfb-talk] Here We Go Again

I'm of the firm belief that a blind person can do whatever they want to.
Sometimes we can do things faster than a sighted person, but sometimes not.
I'm not afraid to admit that sometimes a sighted person can do things more
quickly than I can. But that doesn't mean I'm not a capable blind person.
And there are those times when it's more efficient to get help from a
sighted person. For instance, I know a guy who is working in a setting
where sometimes they have to swipe a credit card. A reference number pops
up which he has to then enter into a certain area of a particular screen.
Would a talking point of sale device be the answer here? No. It's not a
big part of his job, so in this case, it's more efficient and it makes more
sense for him to have a sighted person read the reference number to him.
This doesn't make him less capable as a blind person.
Michael

Ray:
I suspect that in some ways both of you are right. Blind people can do more
than most people think. I don't know how in some instances, but know that
most, if not all tasks done by a carpenter can be done by a blind person. I
knew of a blind guy, many years ago, who built his whole house.
And..... on the other hand, we do some things more quickly than sighted
people, some things the same, and some things more slowly. There are
probably times on a commercial construction site that we would be at a
disadvantage. Could we hold our own in that setting -- I don't know. With
enough flexibility and job variety, possibly, but there could be problems.
I think that you and Bryan both believe in the capabilities and independence
of blind people, so there is no reason to bludgeon each other with words.
And ... I am not trying to pick on your make an example of you -- just
trying to make a point for everybody!!!
