Re: When is the last time anyone has read a braille book?
Actually you'd be surprised how much science and maths can be done on computer these days, the only things I used braille for when learning biology were diagrams and heavily tabulated information such as tracking hybrid crosses.
The problem isnt' so much that braille isn't used for things or that even for people who prefer audio like myself there aren't things you need braille for, it's that braille itself just isn't intigrating well with the sort of technology we have now or being particularly easy to produce.
This is why i suspect unless a braille display which is much cheaper and which everyone can use is manufactured, braille will go just because synths are a much cheaper writing alternative, audiobooks are far more available and portable now than in the old analogue days, and the number of things which must! be done with braille are not enough to justify the expense or inconvenience of producing it, heck even labels on doors and
stuff will likely be super seeded by hand held smart phone or other devices in the next five years or so.
We really! need that fifty quid full screen braille display :d.
