you are absolutely right sandeep. if a blind person did not learn braille in
his schooling time, may be he is illiterate. with the help of computers, we
can pronounce accept and except, but, it is difficult to make difference
between accept and except. i have atended many seminars and functions but,
nobody talked on the basics there. we had a lectures on GPS systems, but,
nothing on simple mobility skills. we had a lectures on spreadsheets but
nothing about the basic tailor frame.

Subject: [AI] regarding Braille
Dear all,
debate on Braille really express its usefulness and relevance in our
lives.
though technology made us more competent, growing and enlightened, one
should not ignore learning Braille to VI kids.
every kid must learn Braille at elementry stage of education because this
is the time when child needs to learn basics, like, knowledge of
language, concept of words, spellings etc. for this, good combination of
Braille and computer is required.
secondly, Braille is the important source of employment of VI candidates.
(many candidates got employment after doing shorthand course from AICB and
other institutes, including me.)
thirdly, we can utilise Braille (for reading and writing) where technology
is temporarily or by any reason is not available to us.
In nutshell, we have to grow a tree with roots of Braille and branches of
computer.
