I am actually surprised you asked this question as most people realise that the blind can type as the F and J keys are marked and have been since computers were marketed. Also there ARE talking computers.
If a 4 year old can work an i-pod, surely anyone who is taught where the 'buttons' are, can work it as well??
Technology can easily be modofied (and has been) to accommodate the blind and many other 'disabilities'
Of course they can. My father who is now deceased was totally blind and could repair the old oil furnaces and still do plumbing. His hearing and touch with incredible. He lost his sight at 51 and could still work. Coincidently, I have a furnace repair man who is totally blind also. He never had sight but knows every part of furnaces by heart and can tell what part is bad just by the sound alone. He always has a helper to drive his truck and he tells them exactly what to do and look for in each furnace. Truly an incredible guy. His truck is very well organized too. If Helen Keller could read and write, you can better believe that these type of handicaps won't stop a person nowadays from learning to use gadgets.
