Maybe if a company like apple were to invest in research and development and introduce new gadgets that the blind could use and enjoy then I believe everyone else would fall in line. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zioncat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2009 1:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stevie Wonder Says Touch-Screen Gadgets Exclude the Blind]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does everybody want to pay more for consumer products because a small amount of the blind want a Blackberry? Nobody really needs a blackberry unless you absolutely need it for business purposes. If it didn't make me money, I wouldn't need one. Do we now have to make all automobiles blind accessible, so that they can drive them? Do we have to create pool tables so blind people can play? Do we have to retool the local bowling alley so that our blind citizens can bowl? How about a game of tetris? Electronic equipment is built on the basis that there is a demand for it, it is built for the masses. If Stevie Wonder wants to invest in electronics for the blind, he should do that, it would be a good thing for him to be involved with to take an active role & financial role to make it happen. Shaking down companies Jesse Jackson or Union Labor style to make everything cost more because of a few people can't enjoy them because they have a disability is just wrong. I'd be against it, perhaps you can get an earmark from congress, I hear they are still handing them out. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[EJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2009 2:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stevie Wonder Says Touch-Screen Gadgets Exclude the Blind]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Because a market is small is no reason to exclude it.  Because a task is challenging is no reason to avoid it.  Someone who can see and has sufficient empathy for all the people who don't and who has the patience and the skill to invent, adapt and distribute whatever is needed to include this segment of society is to be applauded.  The naysayers and the downright prejudiced should maybe rethink their attitudes toward the rest of humanity.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tana green]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2009 2:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stevie Wonder Says Touch-Screen Gadgets Exclude the Blind]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</guid><description><![CDATA[whatever, hippie.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[beardofdoom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2009 3:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Stevie Wonder Says Touch-Screen Gadgets Exclude the Blind]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/01/12/touch-screen-gadgets-exclude-the-blind-say-stevie-wonder-and-ot/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gadgets for blinds, more people will love it for sure especially the blinds. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Videokonferenz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 12th 2009 9:29PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
