From Assad Daoud, Windsor, Canada:

In response to recent letters in the Ziegler debating the advantages of technology versus braille, I believe that every blind individual should have access to a computer, a braillewriter, a reading device and other equipment that broadens their horizons. If the day comes when every blind person in the world has a computer, we will have increased literacy and opened new horizons for those who previously depended on others to read for them or explain what is on the television set. Since I began using a computer, I have become better informed, better educated and have wider access to the world's affairs.
